Only three of us again, Ken Janine and
me. It was quite clear, but very cold. We got a lot done - all the
area to the west of where we were working yesterday, as far west the
cup-marked stone that was found in the summer and the westernmost
platform house, and then round the north side of Pen Garnbugail as
far as the track to Cwm Bargoed. There are more crags here, so we
were able to see that most of the stones standing on end were like
that because they had broken off the crags and bounced down the
hillside until they came to a stop. So the ‘standing stones’ on
the hillsides probably all got there naturally and aren’t man-made
at all.
We made a proper record of the cup-marked stone, which we
hadn’t been able to do in the summer as we had no measuring
equipment then. We still haven’t found any more of them though!
