Pentre Ifan Portal Dolmen ,Folklore

Pentre Ifan is one of the finest surviving examples of a Neolithic  chambered tomb in Wales. It forms one of a group of Portal Dolmens , built approximately 6,000 years ago around the tributaries of the Nevern Valley .

My mother used to tell about seeing the "fair-folk" dancing in the fields near Cardigan; and other people have seen them round the cromlech up there on the hill (the Pentre Evan Cromlech). They appeared as little children in clothes like soldiers' clothes, and  red

caps, according to some accounts.
