**Mynachlog-ddu stones** submitted by Horatio : These stones are just in the field north of the bluestone monument, but not visible from there. Just walk forward 100 mtrs and look left and you cant miss them. Carn Menyn blusetone outcrop can be seen on the horizon, but everywhere you look including in this field is just spotted dolerite everywhere! (Vote or comment on this photo)

These two stones on Mynachlog-Ddu common are visible from the Blustones monuments (if you know where to look). To find them walk past the Bluestones monument until you come to the field boundary - climb the bank and look over into the field to the west and you can't miss them!

The stone pair are just like a scaled down version of the Stones of the Sons of Arthur. One stands at around 2m and the other leans a little at 1.6m. The Bluestones outrcop of Carn Meini would originally have been framed between the two but the view is obscured at present by a tree.

For those with kids there is a fantastic playground in the village of Mynachlog-Ddu complete with Bbq inside mini henge and spectacular views of Carn Meini.
