Summer Competition: The Answers to ‘Guess the Burial Chamber!’

This year’s Summer Competition, courtesy of the PicToBrick  software which turns any photo into a Lego® mosaic, seems to have foxed many of you. I did say that it would be either remarkably easy, or incredibly difficult – it seems the latter was closer to the mark. One commentator on our Facebook page even failed to recognise three sites which we’ve visited together in the past!

As a reminder, we showed you 9 photos, each 48×32 Lego® studs in size, and asked you to name the monument. I think pretty much everyone got the first one correct due to its distinctive shape, but after that it got tricky, and no-one has yet come forward with a full set of answers. So without further ado, here are the answers in full:

1. Devil’s Den, Wiltshire

2. Carreg Coetan Arthur, Pembrokeshire

3. Kit’s Coty House, Kent

4. Chun Quoit, Cornwall

5. Gwal-y-Filiast, St Lythans, South Glamorgan

6. Whispering Knights, Oxfordshire

7. Mulfra Quoit, Cornwall

8. Pentre Ifan, Pembrokeshire

9. Lanyon Quoit, Cornwall

Don’t forget, if you’d like to try making any of these mosaics out of Lego® for yourself, we can provide full instructions on request, or you could download the software and make your own mosaic! But be warned: at around 6p for a single 1×1 brick, at 48×32 resolution each mosaic would cost around £100 to make, including the base plate!
