| "There is an ancient Cromlech, called The Old Church; and which, according to tradition, was anciently the place of Worship belonging to the Village.." From: A Topographical Dictionary of The Dominion of Wales by Nicholas Carlisle, 1811. The OS map shows 'Cae'r Eglwys', and this webpage on Glamorgan Walks http://www.glamorganwalks.com/localfeatures6.htm says that the remains of this 'cromlech' are actually of a long cairn, and can be seen in the Nash Point car park. Coflein complicates things by saying that the cairn could be associated with an old church that's since dropped into the sea. Ooh it's all very confused. The promontory fort itself is called Nash Point, and the earthworks follow the cwm of Marcross/Marcroes brook back inland. |
