Stone Row / Alignment in Carmarthenshire

Ty-Mathiau Stone Row consists of at least three stones covering a distance of 75 metres aligned north-east to south-west. The stones are separated by a modern road.

The Coflein record for Ty-Mathiau NPRN 412091 tells us that this stone alignment lies to the north east of Bwlchclawdd, although the grid reference puts the site to the south-west.

The Archwilio record PRN 42512 says this Bronze Age Stone Row lies c. 275 metres south east of Ty-Matiau farm (which agrees with UK Grid Finder).

The size of stones is unknown, although the orientation is 45 degrees and the site is at an altitude of 269 metres. The stone row is associated with cairns in the surrounding landscape.
