HavensChick visited on 1st Jan 2016 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 To find just turn off from the main St Davids road and drive down a bumpy and potholed track marked St Elvis farm. Just before the farmyard go through gates on the left and up to the marked path to the cromlech. I was surprised at the good size of it and that I'd never heard of it before joining this site, these burial sites are commonly photographed and published all over. It was fenced off and the farm gates to it were locked so I only go close enough to take a few photos.
Beautiful and spiritual place, with a bit of a wow factor when you first see it.
