Date Added: 19th Feb 2015
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 16th Feb 2015
Carreg Pumsaint submitted by SandyG on 16th Feb 2015. This a mortar stone used to mechanically crush gold ore. The stone was laid horizontally on the ground. The ore was placed on the stone and crushed by mechanically driven stamps. The continual pounding of the stamps resulted in the formation of distinctive small saucer shaped hollows. When one side was worn the mortar stone was turned over and the process started again.
