Awsome Cara. Was waiting to see your version after seeing Ceri and Kats and it didn’t disappoint !! Loved all the history that went with this, some of the facts surprised me like how the bodies or parts of them were buried! Thanks as always mate and speak to you soon❤️❤️❤️

[@openmindedwonderer]

thank you so much, it was such a wonderful day. and meeting Ceri and Kat just made the door even more special. Yeah how the bodies are buried really isn't talked about and now you know why xx

@@openmindedwonderer everyday is a school day

[@AbandonedandForgottenWales]

Awesome, very interesting. I had a similar experience here in Wales, when I was metal detecting on most weekends, I had permission on land of a mansion and on this day I went there to detect, there were a team of archaeologists digging and searching for a lost Abbey not too far from Strata Florida Abbey, it was awesome seeing them expose the cobbled paths, and getting chance to detect the soil heaps they dug up. I also had my metal detecting finds over the years looked at and some recorded. Awesome experience

[@openmindedwonderer]

Thank you for watching. It really was an amazing, I loved every minute as I am sure you did. Sounds like an amazing experience, did you find anything that day?

I'm surprised they've not found much though the steps they unearthed sound intriguing. Great video once again 🙂👍

I will have to wait for the full report, the steps and the row of wooden posts. Not heard of this new a burial mound. Time will tell if they found more. Thanks for watching :-)

Absolutely brilliant cara loved the way you used the guides speaking to your footage now that was clever and brilliant editing. Your productions are so neat and tidy and so interesting and i always look forward to then.and so great to see the brilliant tea in valhalla on your channel and you with them on there last video

[@openmindedwonderer]

Thank you Simon, for your great comment. sorry to say this video has had some not so nice comments. But i guess not everyone is going to like the time we put into them. :-(

[@RedDragonVideos]

Awesome tour. Look for the fairy circles. I love archaeology (or archeology depending on your part of the world). There's so much knowledge buried that we will never be able to understand everything from the past. It's a field (pun, maybe) I like to see young people get excited about. Except those ones that dug up the pyramids or Aztec ruins. They were cursed🙄. I seen the movies. Very scary. Have a fantastic week. Until the next adventure, Peace😎👍💯🐲💞

It was interesting to find out that C. S. Lewis was inspired by this area in his writings. Oh wow, how amazing you were able to get on a tour of this excavation. Your tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. How fascinating that in those times the bodies weren't buried straight away, and that different body parts were often placed in different areas. This was such an interesting video, Cara. Thank you!

I love archaeology, history, and all things UK. How fascinating that you were able to be part of the first dig. I was once able to do that in the Mayan ruin of Copan in Hondorus. I was not familiar with Arthur's stone but it is fascinating to learn of it. The whole complex must be very large if the steps to it are so far away.

Amazing to hear about the burial chambers and how they were used. Mind blowing!! They found a Neolithic burial very close to our house and an early enclosure. It’s so interesting, I really must investigate and get a video up on this area. Great to watch Cara - sorry I only got into a bit of the Premiere😨🙏
