Mulfra Quoit, photo taken from the south-south-east on 12 April 2004.

The sunset shadow, September 6th. Cloud cover prevented me from capturing the moment that the tongue like shadow from Maen llia reaches the stream just as it is swallowed up by the huge shadow from Fan Nedd. Another 10 minutes would have done it.
This does however show how, when this image is compared to the sunrise image, the shadows cast by Maen llia would align through Maen llia at the moments of rise and set.
This is a remarkable set up, and a testament to some very clever people.

South east looking north west. Head high stuff again :-(

From the south looking north.

From the west looking east.

Llech llia henge, looking North East towards Maen llia.

Sunrise shadow, September 5th. This is the shadow that touches Datum stone 1 , as shown here. On this day the sunset shadow reaches the stream for the last visit of the year. It won’t reach again till early April.

Right underneath, no apparent way up – further north, the same.

Taken from the south-east, bog in front, brambles etc, and two very sore legs. I’ll climb up there – next time.

A bright fresh Sunday morning. Barrow in prominent spot overlooking valley down to Severn.

Small bullaun with offerings at the foot of the pillar.

Metal sharpening incisions on the north face of the stone.

Christianised pillar stone in its own enclosure with various ancient remnants.

I pulled some foliage away to reveal more of the north side of the cist.

The south and east side of the cist.

The reason the greenery is flat is because I walked or fell straight into the cist, impressive in size.

Looking over Cuddiport, the house in the distance is just west of St Cathan’s Stone, go south from there and you’ll find Auchamore Chamber Cairn and the Bodach &Cailleach stones.

In the middle there is a cairn.
