Not obvious Geograph material perhaps, but this pair of elderly local brothers (both in their eighties, and Welsh-speakers of course) despite spending most of their lives at sea, are also close to the land and belong to a dying breed of countrymen who can still handle old-fashioned implements like scythe and spade without recourse to mechanised equipment. It seems only fitting that one of them spotted, in a nearby field a few years ago, an earth-encrusted hand tool that turned out to be a Neolithic stone axe, now in a museum.
