“There is another miracle/wonder in the region/land/[area] whichiscalled/of Erving/Ercing/Argingi (Archenfield/Ergyng in Herefordshire). A/the sepulcra/tomb is/was (shown/locatedthere) beside/near/nextto a spring/fountain (which is) called/giventhename {'Licat/Llygad Am(i)r/Anir' / 'oculus Amirmur' / "Amr’s eye(-spring)"},/; and the name of the hero/man {who is buried in the tomb / who’s grave is in the tumulus} , (it follows,) was called (thus:) Amr. He was the son of Arthur the soldier, and Arthur/he (himself) (has) killed/slew him/whom in/at that (very) place/spot and donetheburying/buriedhim. And men come to measure the tumulus/grave (inlength):/andfind sometimes it (is) 6/7 feet (in length),/; anothertime/sometimes 9/10,/; anothertime/sometimes 12,/; andanothertime/sometimes 15 (feet in length). For/at whatever (the) measurement/length you will/might measure it insuchasuccession/at1time, again/a2ndtime you will not find it tohave/with the same measurement/length ;/– and (even) I have {put this to the test / made confirmation on} my own/self.” (- "Nennius".)
Amr's tomb matches Countless Stones [Celidon].
[For the orthodox canidates they say "...a possible...."]
(i) never same measurement/length match: this wonder always having different measurments/length pretty certainly matches Countless stones in name & nature. "They are known as "The Countless Stones", as it is said that whenever you count the stones, you come up with a different number of stones each time." How does the orthodox candidate match this?
(ii) Ercing match: Ercing or Archenfield may possibly connect with the cad Achren alternative name of cad Goddeu "battle of trees" which some scholars think is connected with cat coit Celidon, and which may connect with Kit's Koty (not far from Aylesford) &/or the Weald. "(St) Dubricius was the 6th century evangelist of Ergyng." We showed in our 12 battles paper that Dubricius of Legions connects with Dover/Dubris.
(iii) tomb/buried/tumulus/grave/sepulchre match: the tomb/tumulus matches Countless Stones which is a megalithic tomb. [Possibly also compare Categern's/Kit's grave, Vortimer's cenotaph, Merlin's grave, Ambrosius' burial, Julliberies grave?]
(iv) possible Amr (son of Arthur) match?: Amr/Anir/Amhar might possibly connect with either: - Merlin/Ambrosius/Emrys, who has connections with the south-east (eg he was associated with Kentigern/Mungo [Kent &/or Catigern/Kits Coty], with Celidon [Weald], with "Arthuret", with "Caerleon", with Vortigern &/or Chislehurst, etc). - Vortimer. (Vortimer is son of Vortigern who was in Kent area? One of Vortimer's 4 battles may have been in the Medway area? Some think Vortimer's cenotaph was at Richborough not too far away?) - 'Ambrosius Aurelius' / 'Aurelius Ambrosius' and/or Ambrius/Ambresbury/Amesbury near Salisbury. In some Arthurian sources (like the 11 Consuls) "Salisbury" might be Aylesford / Medway megaliths (one source says Kit's Koty was almost as big/famous/great as Stonehenge). - the 3 "kamber, ..., & a..." which may possibly correspond to celidon, "legions", & guinnion/dover??
(v) "Arthur the Soldier" match: We have seen that "Arthur's" 9 battle sites match the 9 actual [Saxon Shore] sites from Yarmouth to Portsmouth/Southampton. "Arthur" is stated to have fought 12 battles esp Guinnion/Badon against the Saxons who are stated to have mainly been in the south-east not in Wales then.
(vi) spring (at the source of river?) match?: The only possible snag might be that we don't know if is/was any (main spring point of) spring (at the source/head of river?) "beside" there. [Possibly compare Tunbridge wells?]
(vii) order/number match: This wonder matches Countless Stones of the Medway megaliths [Celidon]. The preceeding wonder Cabal's cairn also seemingly may match one of the Medway megaliths [Celidon] (or else possibly Harold's earthwork at Dover [Guinnion]?). The next wonder Cruc mawr pretty positively matches Rutupi/Richborough [city of the Legion] not all that far away. [13th wonder might possibly match 3rd actual [Saxon Shore] site Kit's Coty, and 3rd battle site Celli of Pa Gur (which cross-switch match with 4th battle site Celidon of HB)?]
(viii) tested/written by "Nennius" match: Is it coincidence that both the 9 battle sites of "Arthur" of "Nennius" and the Wonders of Britain of "Nennius" both match the 9 Saxon Shore sites from Yarmouth to Portsmouth/Southampton? (A number of the wonders were already accepted by mainstream scholars/historical sources as being connected with Arthur(ian) : loch lomond, hot springs/baths of badon, fount guur helic, [levitating altar,] cabal's cairn, amr's tomb, [circling rock/round table], pictish palace.) [I'm not sure if Pilgrim's Way could connect?]
(ix) other: The special location of Archenfield as border area between the Saxon and British/Welsh ownership may possibly be analogous to Medway as border between Britons & Jutes?? It doubt that Garway could be reminiscent of Harrowway?? Anit could mean "old" which would suit the Medway megaliths??
The main location candidates of others &/or ours for Amr's tomb are: Wormelow Tump near Gamber Head spring &/or "a possible long barrow on nearby Garway Hill" (river Gamber/Afon Amr, [Blaenau Gwent], Ercing/Erchyng/Archenfield/Llanwarne)? Garwi ~ Lagademar/Lagad-emar (Archenfield)? Irchenfield Forest (Herefordshire)? Countless Stones (Kent)? Vortimer's cenotaph ("Richborough")? Merlin's grave? Amresbury/Salisbury/Stonehenge? cadAchren (Goddeu)? Llygatrudd Emys / Ystrad Yw (Damo B.)? "count the steps always vary / expanding stone adapts itself to size of person who gets into it" (Govan)? (rock of) (Main-)Amber (Cornwall)? Amir/Humir near Newport? spring & tump Ffynnon Armon (se of Twmpath Garmon in St Garmon's church yard, Llanfechain, Montgomeryshire)? river Archan? The other candidates in the West/Wales are only reminiscent namesakes/mirror-sites/analogies.
