Tinkinswood outliers submitted by sem on 16th Feb 2004. These large stones lie about 50yds from the burial chamber. They are only a few of those that litter the site and are never mentioned in guides. Could it be that the site is larger than we think?

Carreg Siglio
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2005
Carreg Siglio submitted by sem on 31st Dec 2005. This site bears a striking resemblence to William Stukely's engraving of Avebury, comprising a circle with two "horns" leading from it.
The rocking stone was used as a pulpit by Dr William Price to preach his own brand of Druidism. He later found fame when charged with heresy for attempting to cremate his son Iesi Grist (Jesus Christ) in a tin of paraffin.
