Caer Seion and some shameless self promotion for #HillfortsWednesday
One of two hill forts to give the name to the nearby village of Dwygyfylchi - Two Forts. The other was shamefully destroyed by mining in the early 1900's.

This is a small, very carefully made and repeatedly resharpened flint knife made a Neanderthal person around 50,000 years ago.
It was discarded on the south coast of Jersey, carried far as an important part of their personal equipment.
Now cared for by @jerseyheritage
