Mynydd Llangyndeyrn - Stone-age Central.

If you enjoy the feel-good factor of being among prehistoric stone monuments and sharing a moment in time with our ancient ancestors, then a walk along the limestone outcrop on Mynydd Llangyndeyrn should be on your to-do list. Standing on the mountain top you will be surrounded by ring barrows, round barrows, cairns, standing stones and burial tombs. Indeed as you walk about, any stone placed on top of another would seem to hold a a special significance.

Yet this exuberance of stone building is not the effort of any particular group of ancient ancestors, because the time span from the  neolithic burial tombs, with their huge cap-stones, to the elegant iron-age standing-stone erected nearby, could be as long as 5 millennia. A sobering thought as you stand by the trig point pillar erected by the ordnance survey engineers in the 1930s.
