trethevy quoit. the monument is a burial chamber of the portal dolmen class, and its surrounding cairn, dating to the neolithic period. it comprises a chamber of large stone slabs, with a massive capstone, set in a low mound. the sub-rectangular chamber has two overlapped side-stones to each side, a back- stone, and a frontal slab set across the centre of the foremost side-stones leaving an antechamber at the front. a single free-standing stone flanks the south side of the frontal slab. the large rectangular capstone rests on the side-stones and has a small rectangular hole cut behind its e corner. all of the chamber slabs are in their original position and upright except the backstone which fell inwards before 1850. it has five cup-mark like hollows carved into its upper surface, whilst the capstone is pierced at its highest point by what appears to be a natural hole. its function is unclear. it has been suggested that its purpose may have been astronomical, although this has not been demonstrated. the chamber is surrounded by clear remains of a low sub-circular cairn on all sides except the area immediately in front of the frontal slab. the cairn extends to a maximum visible distance of 2.5m from the chamber and has an overall diameter of c.6.5m. the monument stands near the corner of a pasture field on a gentle se facing slope, near the summit of a low hill overlooking the upper tributaries of the river seaton. the monument lies in the much-dissected landscape bordering the s edge of the bodmin moor granite. this monument has been described in antiquarian and archaeological literature since 1584 and is one of the most frequently mentioned archaeological monuments of cornwall. #trethevyquoit #monument #portaldolmen #dolmen #antiquity #carn #cairn #quoit #cornwallarcheology #archaeology #holed stone #holedcapstone #capstone #megalithicarchitecture #megalith #megalithictomb #neolithic more at montagecity.com https://instagr.am/p/B_aL9eWHqxt/

the mound in the dark grove. anglesey wales bryn celli ddu may be translated as ‘the mound in the dark grove’, and some have speculated that during its time of construction, it was located in a large clearing then surrounded entirely forest. archaeologists have suggested that the original stone circles were set up during the neolithic period, around 3000 bc. around a thousand years after it was built, it became an ‘entrance grave’ or passage tomb, a type of burial monument found around the irish seaboard. bryn celli ddu was accurately aligned to coincide with the rising sun on the summer solstices with the rays of light penetrating down the passage way into the burial chamber. this connects if firmly in the tradition of the irish passage graves notably new grange with its ‘letterbox’ opening projecting light onto the rear wall of its chamber. _____ green ‘entrance’ door, with its padlock and letterbox. columbia road east london. #bryncelliddu #passagegrave #passagetomb #entrancegrave #neolithic #stonecircle #solstice #letterbox #newgrange #irish #welsh #anglesea #megalithic #megalithicarchitecture #mound #ritual #standingstone https://instagr.am/p/B_c9SiIHOzc/

carn wnda. earth fast chambered tomb. this type of tomb typical in this part of pembroke. the capstone is held fast to the ground on one side with the leading edge lifted up by a prop stone and covers a chamber cut into the bedrock. it dates from the neolithic period (c. 4,400 bc - 2,900 bc). chambered tombs were built and used by local farming communities over long periods of time. there appear to be many regional traditions and variations in shape and construction. the burial chamber is situated below the summit of natural occurring outcrops of rock; it has a very large capstone which measures, 4.7m in length, 2.7m wide and is 0.7min thickness one end lies on the ground, but it is supported at its centre on the downhill, western side by one pointed upright which is c. 1m square and 0.3m in height. the chamber is very deep and full of boulders and has internal measurements of 4m wide, 2.3m deep and has a maximum height of 1.3m; other smaller stones lie on the side of the chamber. carn wnda is positioned close up against the rock so it is indistinguishable from the natural rock formations and which in turn resemble monuments. the impressive capstone appears to be a natural slab when approach from above or behind. this ambiguity between artificial and natural is a feature of monuments in this area of pembrokeshire and hints a at a mindset that is exploring this juxtaposition between the world and humans role in it. #carnwnda #carn #pembroke #pembrokeshire #cromlech #earthfast #chambered tomb #neolithic #naturalrockfeatures #natural #artificial #monument #naturalartrtifical #archaeology #megalithic #architecture #megalithicarchitecture more at montagecity.com https://instagr.am/p/B_YKd0EnSfC/
