Maen Pebyll submitted by TimPrevett : The collapsed remains of Maen Pebyll - possibly a long barrow, but these stones do resemble a collapsed dolmen; compare to Presaddfed on Anglesey. The weather was vile on this visit, and for 5:50pm at the start of October, the light quality was dire. The driving rain was beginning to affect the camera, so using flash needed - thus giving the white blobs and streaks seen on the picture. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Long Barrow in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

The possible remains of a long barrow, consisting of several large megaliths, with smaller stones, and a substantial, low ploughed out mound. Looks very much like a collapsed dolmen - compare with Presaddfed's northern stones on Anglesey.

Access through a gate down a lane, into a track, east of Nebo.
