Following the exciting discovery
last summer on Gelligaer Common of a piece of prehistoric art - a
cup-marked stone, the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust and
Groundwork Caerphilly decided that it would be a good idea if we
looked to see if there are any more. We have been lucky enough to
get funding from Cadw for archaeologists from the Trust to help local
residents carry out a survey on the common with the specific aim of
looking for cup-marked stones.
Some people have told us that they
already know of some there, but we need to photograph and describe
them and put them on maps. We are also trying to find out more about
a cup-marked stone, called the Marrying Stone, found in 1935 in
Bargoed.
Keep returning to these pages over the next few days to find out all about this exciting project and the discoveries we make.
