| Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | Wales | Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol) | Visited | 6th Oct 2012 | 4 | 5 | 2 | Modern quarrying came close to destroying the site. One of several heavily worked rock faces and much evidence of worked blocks, edged axe blanks, flaked pieces and one exceptionally good insitu piece. On a revisit, I noticed that the previously ignored "scree slope" is in fact an immense amount of waste material from axe blank manufacturing. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of large flakes that have been hammered off the quarried blocks. | ||
| Nant-Y-Graig | Cave or Rock Shelter | Wales | Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol) | Visited | 1st Jan 1985 | 4 | 3 | Access is problematic as the landowner and gamekeeper are not keen on anyone visiting. The caves of archaeological interest are in the bottom of a gorge cut by a small stream. There are a series of 8 caves properly known as the Brasgyll caves. Number 2 and 8 have been archaeologically excavated. More information here https://sites.google.com/site/cavesofnortheastwales/12-caves-a-b |
