Perched block - Carn Arthur

 


I scanned this from an old print in my photo album.  It's the famous perched block on Carn Arthur, not far from Bedd Arthur (Arthur's Grave)  on the Preseli upland ridge.  If course, many blocks like this, stranded in precarious positions, are associated with heroic figures like Samson or Arthur.  Maybe King Arthur, having put this massive boulder in position, expired from the sheer effort of it all,  and had to be buried nearby.....?

Merlin moved it for him after he'd finished at Stonehenge!

Arthur re - emerged in or before the 1970s in
Aberystwyth, where he was my landlord's husband and adopted an outwardly ordinary persona. But, reassuringly, he's never left
Wales you see, bless his non cotton socks. GOod for him,
I say! That should say landlady up there.
