Wish I had an older surname reading this! lol

Just posting to say thanks again for the topic, as it made me drive down to Gwernvale this afternoon and check it out for the first time in about twenty years!

The grass and ivy are a bit out of control atm fairplay..

Really wish i could of seen how it looked before they 'excavated' it...

Tried to have a look at the Llangynidr Stone too, but couldn't spot anywhere to park up..

(Interesting about the Fish Stone/Myarth/Gliffaes thing..
The Gliffaes Hotel has a fish jumping out of a river on it's roadside sign...
Maybe something to do with the salmon in the Usk?)


Oh yes i forgot to ask if you knew what fish were there, that certainly explains the fish stone, as it really does look like a fish, don't you think? follow the stone that looks like a fish to find lots of fish makes sense to me, they probably had celebrations at the stone when the fish were also there, but all this makes the hill looking like a fish jumping out the river even more strange, and any excuse to get out and about is a good one, you're very very lucky to have the beautiful brecon beacons on your doorstep, and yes Gwerndale is a bit like a decaying skeleton of a tomb by the road, it's a bit sad when you think of it's former glory.
