Belmaduthy
Belmaduthy submitted by Andy B : On a visit to the Belmaduthy Chambered Cairn, I found the cairn area to be the favoured place in the field for the sheep to graze. As I left the cairn after my visit, the sheep that had dispersed then followed me as if to demand they had the field back to themselves.
