Cup Marked Stone, Gwerncaernyddion
Date Added: 5th Oct 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 8th Jun 2019
Cup Marked Stone, Gwerncaernyddion submitted by w650marion on 8th Jun 2019. We walked past this massive squarish flat-topped boulder at the side of the road, only to find later that it was in the Archwilio archaeological record as a cup marked stone! We dashed back with high hopes and gently brushed away the sheep droppings, but the cup marks were not easy to see. A few drops of drinking water filled the ones we found, and made them more easy to photograph.
Clockwise from top left -
1. Massive stone at the side of a road which meanders through a sheepfield
2. Top ...

Log Text: So big, it's difficult to fit into one photo! Interesting how the chambers changed in their construction over time, now easy to see due to the damage at the back. The chambers with the rock art are sealed but the visitor centre has photos.

Saint-Uzec menhir

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22))
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 5
Saint-Uzec menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd Apr 2011. Its crowning glory is the way it has been christianised with the addition of a granite cross on top and carvings on its front (southern) face, which show scenes from the bible and the "roughly hewn instruments of passion".
In the past it was also painted. This was all done in 1674, when the nearby chapel was built.
