Mysterious Marking on Neolithic Megalith - Garn Gilfach | Pembrokeshire | Wales History

We are back in Pembrokeshire, continuing our exploration into the history and legends of ancient sites in Wales. Today we’re visiting Garn Gilfach on the Pencaer/Strumble Head Peninsula…

Over 200 years ago, when antiquarian Richard Fenton visited this dolmen, it was still commonly believed that sites like this were Druidic alters... used for rituals including animal and human sacrifice. In 1810 he wrote; "On the upper surface of the Cromlech are three considerable excavations near the centre, probably intended to have received the blood of the victim... or waters for purification."

Join us as we explore the site and delve into what the antiquarians and archaeologists have to say...
