The anthropology of landscape : a guide to Neolithic sites in Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire by George Children
'Sites' is a bit misleading, as the book is only really concerned with tombs. Other sites are only really mentioned as being part of tombs' contextual landscapes. The tombs are gathered together into five geographical groups: the Newport group, the Fishguard group, the St Davids group, the Inland (Preseli) South Pembrokeshire group, and the Pembroke group, and one stray, Cerrig Llwydion in Cynwyl Elfed, the suggestion being that each comprises a cultural landscape. A passing mention of Bedd show more Taliesin, a Bronze Age round cairn, while discussing Cerrig Llwydion, appears to be Ceredigion's entire contribution to the book. show less
