Balancing
Balancing - Last light at Pentre Ifan, with the huge capstone balancing on the tips of three other stones as it has since Neolithic times.
The largest and best preserved Neolithic monument in Wales, Pentre Ifan dates from approximately 3,500 BC marking the site of an ancient burial chamber. Of the 7 principal stones still standing the huge 5 metre capstone weighing approximately 16 tonnes and resting 2.5 metres off the ground on the tips of three other stones is the dramatic reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Neolithic people that built this monument.
