A portrait of the Archdruid, Hwfa Môn, in 1896, by Hubert von Herkomer. I found mention in the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald of the 8th January 1897, that he’s depicted in front of Capel Garmon. See what you think. Von Herkomer also designed the Gorsedd’s Grand Sword and outfits.

[Open access] This volume presents the result of three excavations and two field walking surveys in Aberdeenshire. They were intended to shed new light on the character, chronology and structural development of the distinctive recumbent stone circles which are such a feature of north-east Scotland. Although the monuments share certain elements with other traditions of prehistoric architecture, and, in particular, with the Clava Cairns of the inner Moray Firth, no excavations at these sites had been published since the 1930s and their wider contexts had not been investigated by field survey. The new project took advantage of techniques which had not been used before, including pollen analysis and soil micromorphology, in an attempt to interpret these monuments in their wider chronological and geographical contexts. In that respect this work was the sequel to an earlier investigation of the Clava Cairns.
