Llech y Drybedd is often described as a dolmen, but its power lies less in classification than in how it is encountered. This essay explores form, landscape, and perception, asking how prehistoric monuments emerge from their settings and continue to act upon the body, the eye, and the imagination.

Stone Temple Gardening began quietly in 2024, as a way of keeping notes while walking ancient ground — a place to think out loud,to integrate a lifetime of observation and reading on prehistory, and to share insights that didn’t fit easily elsewhere. It was never intended as a statement or a system. Over time, and largely thanks to those who returned to read, it became something more shared.

Stonehenge Deciphered refuses to treat the monument as a static ruin. Rees writes against the desiccated style that bleaches prehistory into typologies and footnotes, restoring the lives behind the stones — the journeys, offerings, and ambitions that shaped Salisbury Plain. His portraits of figures such as the Winterbourne Chieftain or the Bush Barrow warrior transform archaeological traces into moving human stories, granting Stonehenge back its breath.
