Short film I made of the wonderful St Lythans. Easy to find … detailed on most road atlases or follow Juilan’s directions in TMA

Sunrise Sunday 22nd October....Wondrous.........
Wanting some respite from urban sprawl, a longstanding mate, Andy and I drove down for sunrise at Stoney Littleton, It’s a wonderful place anytime but dawn is almost magical… …Sometimes it is easy to forget to ask ‘How they built these things? ‘... ‘Why they built them?’ intrigues us all so much. With nearby Bath blinding the hordes of ‘history tourists’ with its Roman swankiness, for which of course I’m eternally grateful, hidden away Stoney Littleton provides us with yet another serene sanctuary littered with clue’s to our past.
I’m no expert but the restoration seems to have transformed the place wonderfully since Julian’s visit in TMA, many years ago and exploring inside relatively easy (next time you go don’t take a torch… a lantern works wonders).
Circles I love. Rock Art I adore. In fact I love, as we all do anything ancient, but there’s always something a bit special for me when you can ‘go in’ (Carn Euny, Kilmartin etc). This place is perfect in every way. The setting on this May morning, the condition of the barrow itself... in the cramped but pretty comfy conditions the sheer physical strength and building skill involved in construction are emphasised and simply staggering. Just stop awhile next visit and let your eyes grow used to the dark. Fossils are everywhere, not just at the entrance as I had read. The sheer human endeavour in just getting it constructed is forced upon you as you manoeuvre through the chamber.
This exquisite May morning sitting atop of the barrow really brought home the simple fact that those of us who have let these places enter our lives are so privileged (but you lot know that anyway!).
Yeah we had a cracker of a morning!!! And if you haven’t been... Go!!!!






Cup Mark on Top stone of Chun Quoit

Found this in amongst in bracken.....Usage? I have know idea but........its an impressive piece....the holes are deep and in a regular patten.....mmmmm????

After visiting nearby Quoit, clambering amongst the overgrown ruin of yhis Fort built over a thousand years ago, is worthwhile if the weathers fine..........Tin mine of Boskednan in the distance in direction of Lanyon and Mon Y Tol

Incredible ammount of Quartz Crystal on this stone...which began to sparkle as the sun rose...this is a truly uplifting circle

Not much here...but as always the pleasure of the find was rewarding enough......rectangluar shaped hole looks like could be remains of a dug out barrow...?
A glorious place looking out towards Taransay and northwards to Lewis. This lichen covered wonder really has one of the best outlooks of any other in Britain. The sunset from here is inspirational.



Hollowed Out Basin Shape...possibly used in the coronation rituals of the ancient kings of Dalriada
