Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber 3500BC
I was determined to find Pentre Ifan today, I'd totally missed it the last time I drove through the Preseli Hills!
Pentre Ifan is a Burial Chamber almost five and a half thousand years old. It is magnificent example of the Neolithic period. It dates from around 3500BC and looks over the Nevern Valley. The Chamber is surrounded by beautiful views on all sides.
I sat with the Stones for half and hour or so thinking about the strength, tenacity and determination that people of that time must have had to build this 16 Ton structure. A monumental task. It is tremendously impressive how the structure stands tall, balanced precariously, or so it seemed to me. Though I guess as it;s been there for thousands of years, it must be safe!
