Join Anna and Alf today at ELISEGS PILLAR and the mound that it sits on which is a BRONZE AGE BURIEL CAIRN in LLANGOLLEN in NORTH WALES, UK as Anna teaches of the importance of this important SCHEDULED MONUMENT.
ELISEGS PILLAR has been here for more than 1000 YEARS and was once a blunt statement of CHRISTIAN FAITH and ROYAL AUTHORITY and is PROBABLY THE ONLY SURIVING ROYAL INAUGURATION POINT FOR THE WELSH PRINCES.
By the late seventeenth century the Pillar was no longer standing ( until it got re erected again ! ) because of either an earthquake or Puritans knocking it down but the damaged inscription was recorded by the famous Welsh antiquary Edward Lhuyd. The mound was dug into in 1773 by the local land-owner Thomas Lloyd and is reported to have contained a stone cist with a skeleton. He also re-erected the Pillar and this was recorded in a second inscription on the shaft.
THE PILLAR WAS ONCE TOPPED WITH A CROSS and STANDS ON A MOUND whose origins date back to THE EARLY BRONZE AGE at least 4,000 YEARS AGO.
EXCAVATIONS done between 2010 -2012 by Bangor and Chester Universities on the mound revealed that it is a classic example of a NORTH WALIEN MULTI FAZED CURVED BURIEL CAIRN THAT DATES TO THE EARLY BRONZE AGE.
SO THIS 9th CENTURY ELISEGS PILLAR, THIS EARLY CHRISTIAN MONUMENT , A SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT is actually situated on a BRONZE AGE BURIEL CAIRN.
IN ADDITION , ELISEGS PILLAR has GREAT BRITAINS LONGEST EARLY MEDIEVAL LATIN INSCRIPTION ON A MONUMENT making it a HISTORICAL DOCUMENT and an ARCHEOLOGIÇAL MONUMENT together.
