If you carry on excavating such bunny rabbits from your hat, people are going think we are serious archaelogists.

I think we are safe from misleading anyone, especially as you now model yourself on Holly from Red Dwarf.
On a slightly more serious note, regarding Maen Cerrig recumbent from your first foray into show business. It still isn't showing on the original Coflein map, but there is a dot where it should be on the new "Beta" style Coflein map. Unfortunately I can't bring up any details on the different sites on the Beta map, so I don't know if it's been listed or not. Maybe you will have more luck with it?

I prefer to think of myself as Queeg, or even Gordon (awesome intellect).
Unfortunately I appear to be neither as I can get nothing from the Beta Coflein map. Any tips?

I can't give you any help with it Sem, it has already defeated me. Sorry.

using Coflein in English, it looks to me almost identical to the newish Scottish http://canmoremapping.rcahms.gov.uk/ and just as intuitive.
New websites really should come with instructions (OK they might be there, I have not looked)
if you can get as far as the red dots indicating site locations. the bottom button below the map zoom indicator - looks like a dashed box with a letter 'i' in the lower right corner. click that button (it will probably tell you what to do next), hold down the shift key on your keyboard, then press the left key on the mouse (still holding shift key) to drag a box over the area you are interested in, release all keys/ buttons and a list of sites contained in the selected area should appear on the left of the screen - you can try and click through the links to get information.

++ if I am at Stanton Drew next weekend, If there is a internet connection that I can piggyback on, I maybe able to give a demonstration (I thinks Sem may be there)

See, that's where we're going wrong Cerrig.
H_Fenton used "kovline" in English and got some sense from it.
I tried using the Grid Refs in Welsh, but after typing "Een dai's tree pedwar a pimp?" all I got was "Bugger off Sais - it's none of your business."

Red dots in front of the eyes. What a night that was. We had to disband the mabolgampi club after that ( not enough survivors to make a team )
