Site where twenty four small stones once lay in a row.
Some details of this now destroyed row are recorded by the Stone Rows of Great Britain - see their entry for Troed y rhiw, who tell us this single row is "only known from a description in the Royal Commission Inventory". It measured 12.2m long and the stones had an average height of 0.6m leading from a stone circle which had at least 12 stones.
The Stone Rows of Great Britain also gives a link to the Royal Commission Inventory: RCI (1914, 644 pages) (An Inventory of the Ancient Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire: County of Denbigh. IV, Volume 4), but concludes that "The site was destroyed before it could be recorded in detail and because the stones are described as contiguous, the possibility should be acknowledged that this site represented a wall rather than a stone row".
