It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and here’s another of the glorious monuments I drew while I was out and about with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and film maker Melvyn Williams, hunting Welsh megaliths. This day, we stayed close to home and started out by visiting the local Dylan Thomas comprehensive school, where there is a fine Bronze Age standing stone, the Cockett Valley stone, at the far end of the playing fields. Its history is shrouded in mystery as it was undiscovered for thousands of years until the end of the 1970s, when woodland clearance revealed it under many generations of bramble growth. It’s now out in the open, overlooking the small river snaking along Cockett Valley.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts


Is Mel trying to communicate with the stone ? 😜
Conduct an interview perhaps ?
