Incredible discovery of a previously unknown stone circle in Herefordshire, with a stone from the Isle of Arran underneath. That was a great video👍❤

[@openmindedwonderer]

That was fascinating Cara. I did a video on Arthur's Cave also in Herefordshire a little while ago, but was unaware of Arthur's Stone. Thank you for showing us around and explaining all about it. Brilliant that you could be there on the excavation again. Excellent stuff! Take care, Paul

[@openmindedwonderer]

No heard of Arthurs cave, will have to check that out. Thanks for watching :-)

Brilliantly concise video, thank you. I’ve spent a lot of time at Arthur’s Stone since my childhood as my late grandma lived nearby at Brobury and always found it a special place. It’s tapestry of history is fascinating, the site clearly had great importance to the culture of the time

[@openmindedwonderer]

What a wonderful to spend time there. I first visited before all this research has been done, and felt it to be so special and what a stunning location. So was over the moon when they found so much, including the stone circle. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave such a great comment

That’s incredible - the ancients were incredible in their engineering and I always find it so sad that we don’t exactly know how they did this stuff!! Fantastic to find a new stone circle Cara and to see the excavations in situ.

[@openmindedwonderer]

Its amazing, to think they did all of this without modern days tool. Still blows my mind :-) thanks for watching

[@PhilipOlsen11]

That’s great Cara. It never ceases to amaze me how many different places have a claim to King Arthur. It’s the same here in South wales and down through the West Country 👍

It’s an amazing area even before this find. Leaves me with so many questions 😊 thanks for watching

[@TheHikingHermit]

Great piece of excavation. And the myth and legend surrounding Arthur sure does add to the interest of the site. I visited some stone circles whilst on the Isle of Arran a month or 2 ago so a nice connection with there. That was some distance to travel for the time 🙂

[@openmindedwonderer]

Oh look forward to seeing those, i was shocked when they said this connection. they think it was down to trading, but like everything they don't know for sure. Thanks for watching

[@britishlongbarrows]

Just catching up after 'leave'. Wonderful window into the excavations and the monuments!😀

[@openmindedwonderer]

Thank you, can't wait for the results to come out. I'm hoping they may do another one next year, but i'm sure i heard this may have been the last year for this area. You must be off to Orkney soon?

[@adzey156]

Another interesting place Open Minded Wonderer . Arthurs Stone cool to see again . Good story of fighting the giant 💪 . Interesting excavations must take ages to complete. Some cool finds this time .

[@thewiltshirewomble]

Wow… interesting how much they have expanded the dig since your last video with Ceri and Kat last year. A real shame that the stones are missing, with just the holes remaining on the stone circle…unless it was a wooden structure. Hope they find out more and dig the remaining part of the circle to find out more… i really need to visit. Thank you for sharing Cara… Mark 👍

[@openmindedwonderer]

Thanks Mark, no they believe it was a stone circle and not a wooden one. As to what happened, they don’t know. So really hoping the come back next year and of course if they do, I will be there 😊

Excellent Cara.. it is great to see it being treated so well.. unfortunately here there is lots of great pieces of history but nobody doing this kind of work.. an awful lot is on private property with no public access and undocumented with no sign board. I would love to see work like this being carried out.. great video as always and in great detail. You narrate extremely well 😁 keep it up and show the world.

[@openmindedwonderer]

Thank you, perhaps one day someone will. There are so many places that are over looked and yet I wish they were. As much as I live Avebury and Stonehenge, I do wish they would consider other places.

[@openmindedwonderer]

I was over the moon, talked so many times about these holes they find from lost monuments, so to see was something else. :-) thanks for watching

[@dianarolph1770]

Is it known where the capstone was actually quarried? And of course how it got to its position high on the hill? I think you said it was 25 tons? Nobody can come up with a credible answer. Why drag the stones up the hill- why not construct it on a flat site to make life easier? This is the puzzle. Thanks Cara!

[@openmindedwonderer]

They think it was quarried locally. But how they got it into position no body is sure. I guess the monument were placed here because that people could see for miles, and those heading there could see it, possible. :-)

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Man, I am surprised to see this not encased in some protective plastic or something. HAHAHA. 👍👍👍

[@AstroAndRemi]

How do they think the large cap stone was placed on top of the pillar stones?

[@openmindedwonderer]

Nobody is really sure, it 's a bit of a guessing game. Amazing thought, thanks for watching

[@jimroberts3009]

They probably used an earth ramp and moved the capstone using rollers and levers.

hi and welcome. :-)

[@michaeljenkins6476]

Your symbol looks like a cyclotron, funny that, just like a stone circle magnetic-electro pulsed energy circle and I wonder why? Arthur's Stone in Gower may be worth a visit as it seems to have numerous simularites to that which you protray including being coverd over with earth. Good luck and keep going.

[@openmindedwonderer]

I will take a look at that, thank you. not many people mention the symbol. In fact you wont find it anywhere as it came to be in a meditation many years ago and have used it ever since. Thank you so much for your comment

[@crowznest438]

The large flat top stones on dolmens look like sacrificial alters to me, or maybe where a body was placed and cremated. Of course, I wasn't there.

[@openmindedwonderer]

@@crowznest438 I think you are right and I know more people are starting to think that way and makes sense when it’s rare to find full skeletons In these barrows. Thank you so much 😊

[@rattylol]

Bizarre! I was imagining that they just used the rocks in the circle and recycled them into Arthur's stone but then I thought, how? It looks like a giant just plucked them from the ground, like loose teeth, no signs of excavation around them at all.

[@openmindedwonderer]

Crazy isn’t it, how on earth they did it, with so little tools. The stone circle came after Arthur’s stone was placed. It really is an amazing area

[@chrisbarriere101]

Art Imleach lived between 1020 and 760 BC. Tales of “Arthur” are almost certainly based on the various High Kings of Ireland who carried the familial name of Art across several unconnected generations. The Line of Rulers based at Strathclyde were drawn from these same dynasties, spreading the Arthurian line to the Scots. It is appalling that the British try to claim this historic figure as their own. Celtic history and the documented history of the Irish and Scots has been suppressed by the English Crown in an attempt to repaint the history of the Isles. Sites such as these were likely never visited by the historic Art Imleach or Art Mac Cuinn.

That is so interesting thank you, not looked much into the legends of Arthur. Something i hope to do in the future, so a very big thank you for this :-)
