Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
New study of the carvings of this Anglesey passage-grave in their Irish Sea and W European context indicates closer links with Irish material than was previously thought. The designs were conceived by an artist of considerable ability, approached in the Irish Sea area only by the artists of Fourknocks and Newgrange. Even these, so far as is known, did not achieve the unity of design seen at Barclodiad y Gawres. Moreover, the Irish parallels come from tombs of widely differing plans, and no chronological conclusions can be drawn. The likelihood of Iberian parallels has already been treated by the excavators. Very little connection with the art of Bryn Celli Ddu or the Calderstones can be seen. Similarly, in Breton passage-grave art there is little evidence of the integrated patterns achieved at Barclodiad y Gawres, although some interchange of ideas between Brittany and Ireland is possible - cf Seskillgreen and Gavrinis. | |
