But yes, this is an interesting site -- I want to go back and examine it in more detail. Too much of a hurry the other day, when I was acting as native guide for a group of visitors........BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-13286256634647810342017-05-04T12:14:14.994+01:002017-05-04T12:14:14.994+01:00The image of the south of Foel Drygarn, showing th...The image of the south of Foel Drygarn, showing the 'quarrying platform'. Doesn't this contradict what you were saying in the rest of the discussion? If they were simply picking up loose scree, would thay have created a platfrom?<br /><br />I'd always viewed this as a southern rampart. I'm also not sure that scree would have developed to any great extent on these slopes, but then maybe it does. Sounds like a full engineering study is needed to work out the volume of rock in the ramparts and cairns, whether rock faces have seen quarrying and what the surface beneath a scree slope would look like, if the scree were removed.<br /><br />DaveDave Maynardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162915474983638825noreply@blogger.com
