It’s #Standingstonesunday again and I’ve been looking through the painting / drawings I did of some of the ancient stone monuments of South Wales a while back. I was travelling around hunting the wild megaliths with filmmaker Melvyn Williams and pre-historian Dewi Bowen. We trekked up the mountain near Trecastle to visit the Nant Tarw stone circles and cairn.
The Bronze Age circles are made up of small, rather insignificant stones and although fascinating historically and culturally, they were not particularly inspiring visually and nor were the cairns. However, the scenery was absolutely spectacular, with the Fan Brycheiniog face of Mynydd Du (the Black Mountain) in the distance. It had been snowing and the Fan was streaked with black and white stripes.
