Living in Pembrokeshire, it's not hard to get caught up in the wonder of the Staffordshire Hoard. We are only a stone's throw from some of the most wonderful hill forts, standing stones and dolmen of the Iron and Bronze Ages. It was from here that the Bluestones of Carn Menyn were carried from the Preseli Hills to form the inner ring of Stonehenge and we are lucky to live in such an ancient and inspirational landscape. Small wonder we would be so intrigued by this amazing find which has now been put on Flickr under the Creative Commons attributed to the Staffordshire Hoard website. Have a look at the stunning pieces on view. That they were created as long ago as the 7th and 8th centuries will take your breath away.
