Description

Pentre Ifan takes us back to Neolithic (New Stone Age) times, when our ancestors buried their dead in tombs such as this. What we see before us today are the bare bones of a chambered tomb that would originally have been covered with an earthen mound. The giant 16½ft/5m ‘capstone’ appears to be precariously balanced on three ‘uprights’, though it has remained in place for over 5,000 years.

I tried to capture the essence of the stones in their isolated location. I recall visiting this monument many times when a child. Of course now it is not quite the same as it was then as now there are more controls in place and greater visiting hordes with their mobile phone cams! Canvas stretched on a wooden frame. The sides are painted /certificate of authenticity signed and dated. It is unframed but I include a photo of it in situ to help you gauge the dimensions etc
