| Abstract: |
Two erect stones, just over a meter high, possibly of prehistoric date, were found at Mynydd Mwyn Mawr Farm near Llanerchymedd. The stones are aligned with a spring and hilltop which along with the vertical erection and similar height suggests intentional configuration of the stones. The article reports on the results of site visits and preliminary metal-detecting survey. An unusual metal artefact 0.125m long was recovered and could be a chisel or other metal tool. The landowner had previous found a small stone implement approximately 700m south-east of the stones which could be a Bronze Age hammerstone. Based on the stone composition and selection, alignment, packing stones and site location, Dr George Nash believes that the site is of Bronze Age origin. |
