St Elvis Farm submitted by Adam Stanford on 18th Nov 2004. Located on a N-W facing slope, the tomb is one of three coastal burial sites in south-west Wales which appear to have been purposely concealed from the sea. A ‘double cromlech’ with 2 capstones is supported by two uprights. There are traces of a mound between both chambers and on the western side of the western chamber.

Westerton (Aberlemno) submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. From Forfar head easton the A932 Friockeim road.

Just north of this junction you will see the stone in a field on your left (west side of the road.) This is an unassuming stone, no marks, standing about 1.2m high. Flat-faced, with the faces approximately due south-east/north-west.

King's Quoit, Manorbier submitted by sem on 25th Aug 2004. Looking SW,the view here is outstanding.This must have been a very sought after plot of Neolithic real-estate.It is set in a hollow on the cliffside lined with stones bigger than any but the capstone.Children & Nash suggest "no covering mound would have existed because the ledge.....is far too narrow."

Gors Fawr Stone Circle submitted by Horatio on 22nd Jun 2019. Summer Solstice sunrise at Gors Fawr 2019. Taken on my phone.
As I stood behind everyone I thought 'just how many people over the thousands of years have stood in my place and watched this and how many more to come in the following years to replace me'
It was a truly moving, 'spiritual' experience.
It was a long day yesterday (not just because the hours of sunlight) as sunrise here, then work (in east Carmarthenshire) and then back to N Pembs for the sunset at Pentre Ifan burial ch...

As can be seen from the photograph, this field was occupied, so I didn't make an issue of it and took the bull's photograph along with the stone, which is over 2m in height and very slim.

Log Text: Visited without doing research first. I was looking for two stones. The upright stone is easy to spot but the recumbent one is a bit more difficult. I did find a recumbent stone that looked about right, but it was not the right one. I suppose it is possible that there were once more standing stones at this spot, but the proximity of the cliff means that at least some of the large slabs are probably natural.
