line for almost six miles around the great enclosure. Near this point the stream you crossed disappears into the limestone, reappearing at the pumping station lower down the valley. Having kept the wire fence on your left until you have passed through all five gates, follow the path into the secluded wooded valley called Lodge Cwm, a dry tributary of the equally dry Green Cwm. The path can be traced quite easily through the trees until it reaches the broad grassy track that runs through Green Cwm from Llethrid. Turn right on to this track and follow it through the magniacent woodland scenery. A little distance down the valley note the Giants' Grave, a communal tomb built by some of the first farming people to settle in Gower, about 4,500 years ago. Near Giants' Grave a footpath leads up through trn trees on the eastern side of the valley to Cathole. In this deep cave have been found man-made implements of an age which makes Giants' Grave seem recent. Shortly after leaving Giants' Grave the track passes through a gate and becomes a narrow metalled road, which soon leads to Parkmill and the main south oad.
