In the Aubrey Manning series 'Talking Landscapes' shown originally a few years back there was one about Pembrokeshire which had a reconstruction of Pentre Ifan covered by an earth mound so who's to say this latest suggestion is right?


It's all speculation based on speculation :-)



Excavations in 1936-37 and 1958-59 showed that the monument had been surrounded by a Long Cairn with horns surrounding a forecourt .Frances Lynch suggests the monument began by being surrounded by a cairn wih the forecourt and extension of cairn added later .


Yep!
