Cairn(s)

Losing my head, if not my mind.... (arguably) better than the shadow thrown by the tripod.

Ha ha, I like that. Even if you do look like a football trophy.	Posted by thesweetcheat 1st November 2013ce


Usually my ears. Seriously, the image does show that this must have been a pretty substantial cairn in it's day. Strange that it has been buggered, whilst the great Cefn Coch cairn below hasn't?	Posted by GLADMAN 1st November 2013ce


There's no accounting for robbing trends. It would be fascinating to know how many cairns were broken into and/or robbed for stone and valuables centuries ago, and how many clung on until "antiquarian" excavation (or more recently). Guess we'll never really be able to quantify.	Posted by thesweetcheat 1st November 2013ce
