Dolphin face on the north side of Carn Lliddi.

It was taken because 5000 years ago someone climbed Needle Rock on Dinas Head and carved the face of a person pointing into the heart of the Preselis.

No less than 80 ships were built at Newport in the 100 years prior to 1856. All the details of each ship are specified in this book. Due to lack of suitable timber the Havard builders sent their ships to the Baltic to get wood to build their brigs and schooners. Two Cardigan registered ships were lost on the Shetlands whilst returning from the Baltic with timber for boat building.
During 2019the author was discovering and photographing sculptures carved by Neolithic people in Pembrokeshire.
As yet Anthropologists and Archaeologist have not studied these as this is the first time they have been seen. These unique carvings have been hidden in time for 5000 years. Buy this book and you too will be able to look for valuable images carved and painted onto stones, no digging involved, just a good camera and a stout pair of legs. First you have to "read" the stones and know where to find prehistoric tombs. Hundreds are still unrecorded all over Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The author identifies passive ritual sites and stone circles that are designed to perpetuate the Cycle of Life.
