Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The sites of Aber Camddwr II and Parc Maen are separated by some distance, lie at different heights and the radiocarbon dates indicate that several centuries may have divided their construction. However, they are published together as it is considered that their similarities complement each other. At both sites the erection of standing stones, the setting up of timber posts and the deposition of charcoal in pits took place during or after the construction of a cairn. The cairn at Parc Maen was built at the beginning of the second millennium BC, that at Aber Camddwr in the middle of the same millennium. At both sites the cairns may have covered primary inhumations, with circumstantial evidence for later cremations at Parc Maen, although the principal secondary function of both sites appears to have been ceremonial rather than sepulchral. | ||||||||
