“…Rectangular mortuary houses have been identified around single burials in northern and western Britain but they are also found in association with small collections of graves. In these cases, the monuments appear to commemorate successive mortuary episodes, as recognized at Tandderwen, Clwyd and Thornybank, Lothian (Brassil et al 1991;Rees 2002, fig. 3).…”

This article develops recent interpretations of mortuary practices as contexts for producing social memory and personhood to argue that early medieval cairns and mounds served to commemorate concepts of gender and genealogy. Commemorative strategies are identified in the composite character, shape and location of cairns and in their relationship with other commemorative monuments, namely Class I symbol-stones. The argument is developed through a consideration of the excavations of early medieval cists and cairns at Lundin Links in Fife.

“…The organisation of burial sites into clusters around central graves may indicate burial in smaller family units within the larger kin-group. This can be seen at Plas Gogerddan in Ceredigion) and Tandderwen in Clwyd (Brassil et al 1991 ;Murphy 1992).…”

“…This is almost exclusively for burial. The cemetery at Plas Gogerddan, Powys (Murphy 1992) is located immediately adjacent to Bronze Age ring-ditches, whilst at Tandderwen, Clwyd (Brassil et al 1991) Bronze Age ring ditches are actually surrounded by ditches of a probable early medieval date, making them appear like the contemporary square ditched barrows found at the site. At Llandegai, Gwynedd (Houlder 1968) the cemetery is inserted across a Neolithic cursus monument.…”

The superficial similarity in form of prehistoric standing stones and early medieval western British inscribed stones has sometimes led to the suggestion that the medieval stones were reusing the earlier monuments. In this paper this suggestion is critically assessed. It shows that the medieval stones are different in size from the prehistoric stones, and placed in different contexts. This lack of reuse of prehistoric standing stones is considered in the context of other examples of monument reuse known from western Britain.
