In this video we explore the history of four neolithic sites in north Pembrokeshire, Starting off at St Gwyndafs church. We’ll walk to Garn Wnda, the Cromlech at Fferm Penrhiw, and the trio at Garn Wen.

In this video we revisit Gors Fawr, an ancient stone circle considered to be the best preserved in Wales. Then we’ll head up the near by slopes, meet up with the ancient Golden Road... and follow it to Beddarthur, a horseshoe stone circle/monument, claimed to be the final resting place of the legendary King.

Nestled amongst the rolling Preseli hills is the level common named Gors Fawr, meaning Great Marsh, and this is where we find a humble but significant stone circle that takes it’s name from the marshy land on which it sits.

Just over 20 meters in diameter, the 16 stones form a very regular circle, geophysical surveys suggest it probably looked much the same today as it did to its late Neolithic or Bronze Age builders... a remarkable survivor.

Some claim that Gors Fawr is not just the best, but the ONLY intact ancient circle in Wales… but in a country renowned for its standing stones and megalithic monuments, can this really be true? In this video we answer that question and more...

In this video we explore Ty Newydd – a neolithic monument in Anglesey, Wales.
We’ve found a variety of descriptions and illustrations dating as far back as 1781, including two explanations for the missing stones. The site was once described as a ‘double cromlech’ but at present the monument consists of a 12ft by 5ft capstone partially held up by brick supports which were added after excavations in the 1930s. In this video we’ll cover the known history of Ty Newydd and how its condition has deteriorated over the years.

In this video we delve into the great Stonehenge Bluestone debate… questioning what we know about how a varied collection of ‘bluestones’ made their way from the Preseli Hills to the Salisbury Plain.

We start with a brief history of the last 400 years at Stonehenge.. Exploring research by antiquarians, archaeologists and geologists… demonstrating how professional and public opinion has changed over time and sharing our own journey through the last three decades of media coverage. Over the last decade, the topic has been dominated by claims made by Professor Mike Parker Pearson, involving ‘Bluestone quarries’ at Craig Rhos Y Felin and Carn Goedog, and a huge stone circle at Waun Mawn… Claims that were reported as fact by a wide range of media outlets, predominantly during the 2021 BBC documentary “Stonehenge – The Lost Circle Revealed”.

Because of the massive impact this BBC documentary had on public opinion… we felt we couldn’t properly address this topic without properly addressing the way in which evidence was interpreted throughout the documentary… Showing examples from the show, we explore the other legitimate interpretations available and tentatively offer our own conclusions.

Please feel free to comment your thoughts on the topic. Also a massive thanks to everyone who has been getting involved here and on Youtube.. Your feedback is invaluable and we’ve learned so much from you all. Lets keep on bothering those stones!

Diolch yn fawr. Thanks!
