On our way
back from Beddgelert I parked up to show Haydn and Lily the stone age rock
shelter. It was discovered a couple of years ago when someone questioned why
there were limpet shells ten metres above sea level. Subsequent radio carbon
dating said one of the shells was 9343 years old.
On the
scramble up the rock Haydn was worried that he might be underwhelmed. ‘Does it
look anything like a stone age rock shelter?’
The
mattresses gave it a contemporary feel. Not an impromptu camp site but a safety
measure for climbers practising on the overhanging rock.
The story of
the discovery is in this earlier blogpost.
