Arthur's Stone, Glamorgan
Arthur's Stone (Welsh: Maen Ceti) is a Neolithic burial ground on Cefn Bryn, a hill on the Gower in the west of Glamorgan.
The site is found just north of the ridge summit of Cefn Bryn. Its name comes from a legend that King Arthur, the ancient king of legend, threw a large stone from Llanelli which landed on this spot.
It has been suggested that during the Bronze Age, Cefn Bryn was used extensively for ceremonies and rituals. Beneath the bracken on the hill over sixty cairns have been discovered. Most of these are likely to be no more than collections of stones cleared by local farmers; but just north-west of Arthur's Stone three prominent cairns have been excavated that prove their ancient role - the largest being Great Cairn, a circular heap of stones above a central grave.
