How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think.

Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Mynydd Preseli Historic Landscape
Not sure if I have reproduced this map before -- thanks to Dyfed Archaeology, HMSO and Cadw. The map shows the extent of the Mynydd Preseli Historic Landscape -- the black line defines the area. Some interesting areas are excluded -- presumably because agriculture or forestry are deemed to have damaged the historic landscape features. Sorry the quality is not very good. Go to the original, here -- and the citation:

Because this area is characterised or identified accurately, it is afforded a degree of protection. It all lies within the National Park.
