EDITORS COMMENTS
Carreg Samson, also known as Carreg Sampson, is a remarkable 5000-year-old Neolithic dolmen located half a mile west of Abercastle in the picturesque coastal town of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. This ancient stone formation, believed to date back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, consists of a large, flat table stone supported by three upright stones. The site is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Wales and the ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the timeless beauty of Carreg Samson as it stood in the past. The large, lantern-slide image reveals the dolmen in its natural setting, surrounded by lush greenery and bordered by a stone wall. The table stone, weathered and worn by the passage of time, appears to be covered in moss and lichen, adding to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the site. Carreg Samson is not only an important archaeological site but also a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are interested in the history and culture of Wales. The dolmen is easily accessible via the nearby Pembrokeshire Coast Path, making it a must-see destination for hikers and history enthusiasts alike. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and ancient heritage that can still be found in Wales, and the importance of preserving these sites for future generations to enjoy and learn from. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the people of Wales built monumental structures to honor their ancestors and connect with the natural world.
