Waun Mawn -- supplementary data now published

 



There will shortly be some interesting discussions about Waun Mawn and Proto-Stonehenge!  I have now added some "supplementary data" to my article on Waun Mawn which is published on Researchgate.    There is nothing new here --I have just assembled some of the fieldwork records from my blog and published information from Dyfed Archaeology publications, illustrating some (but by no means all) of the prehistoric features to be found within a couple of kilometres of the putative "giant stone circle."  For  some reason this abundance of features has been entirely ignored by Parker Pearson and his team, in their single-minded pursuit of the missing stone circle!   As I have noted before, some are very clever at seeing the invisible and missing the obvious........

Let's see whether any of these features are mentioned in the new paper, expected shortly. But I am genuinely intrigued about the failure thus far to mention the "rich legacy" of Neolithic / Bronze Age features in the Waun Mawn landscape. I should have thought these features would be used in an attempt to flag up the Waun Mawn area as somehow rather special -- which would strengthen the MPP argument. But no -- they seem to be intent on showing that the putative "giant circle" existed in an otherwise barren landscape. Most peculiar.........

I reckon it's what might be termed a "bull at a gate philosophy" by the Great Man who like that Professor Challenger in Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World" book, refused to be deflected from his singlehanded pursuit of Truth.
