CoralJackz – That History Couple

Otherwise known as Trellys.. All that stands today of this neolithic monument is a capstone perched upon two uprights.

The following is a very short description quoted from ‘A Historical Tour Through Pembrokeshire’, published in 1810 by Richard Fenton:
“..just above the village of Trellys, is a cromlech, and, what is not commonly seen in a stone of such size, of whitish spar almost horizontally placed, and resting on two supporters only.”

Barnwell, in 1872 records the site and also provides us with an illustration:
“…In the adjoining parish of St. Nicholas is a dolmen which might pass for one of the free-standing or tripod ones, as all that is left of the original chamber are two supporters and the capstone, the latter resting on two separate points of one of the supporters. It is 7ft 9 ins long by 6ft 7ins : measurements which do not agree with those given by Sir Gardner, who gives the breadth only 3ft 10 ins, and which is probably an error of the printer. The highest of the two supporters is 5ft 8ins, being 2ft more than the other. The thickness of the capstone is a little under 2ft. The chamber must have been small. Slight remains of the cairn still lie around. The situation is very conspicuous. At a short distance, in the lower ground, stand some pillar-stones ; portions, in all probability, of a stone circle.”
