Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by PaulM : The Tafarn y Bwlch Stone Pair with the other standing stone in the background. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This pair of standing stones form part of the Talfarn y Bwlch stone complex which includes the possible remains of Waun Mawn stone circle.

From Coflein site:

"Two erect monoliths, each 1.3m high, having a pronounced northward lean, identified as a stone pair, which have also been seen as the remains of a burial chamber."

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Postman : These are backwards clouds, they pour over the hill tops whilst being burned away quicker than they pour over by the sunshine, have you ever seen an upside down waterfall? It's not like that either. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Postman : Pair of standing stones with cloud on the hills and a tall shadow creature that seems to be mimicking me. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by TheCaptain : Fairly picturesque stone pair standing on the northern slopes of the Preseli mountains just a few hundred metres northwest from the road at the Tafarn-y-Bwlch junction.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Horatio : Tafarn-y-Bwlch on a cold clear day, back on my 'local' stomping ground today in the Preseli's.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Horatio : The view from the NW

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Horatio : This is taken from the SE, where in good weather these recumbent stones make quite nice sunbathing seats, funnily enough I've just got home to find that this has been taken on the hottest day of the year (so far).....This can only happen in the Preseli hills. With the clag totally down, wet cold and miserable but my wife still continued to followed me for another 9 miles in search of stones (you'...

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by SandyG : View from south (Scale 1m).

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Postman : I couldn't see the single standing stone from here, I'm a bit miffed.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Horatio : Like others on here, the stones aligned in the bank next to the two Tafarn-y-Bwlch stones seem like it could've belonged to 'something more' than a field or edge boundary, they just seemed to be too aligned/straight to be random?

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Horatio : Tafarn-y-Bwlch stones, look bigger than in the flesh, easy access and to the left of the track.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by TheCaptain : Fairly picturesque stone pair standing on the northern slopes of the Preseli mountains just a few hundred metres northwest from the road at the Tafarn-y-Bwlch junction.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by TheCaptain : nearby the stone pair is a linear bank and ditch, which incorporates many large stones, some of which extend beyond the height of the bank. Just a boundary or something more significant?

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by Bladup : Talfarn-Y-Bwlch.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab : Hedge-line incorporating several stones, looking westwards towards coast.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab : Talfarn y Bwlch stones. Line of stones & hedge-line alongside pair of standing stones. Looking eastwards.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab : Row of stones in bank alongside Talfarn y Bwlch. Just next to the pair of standing stones, there is a very clear line of stones running east-west for at least 50 metres in each direction. The line can be seen in the foreground of this photo, with stone pair beyond. Looking at the OS back home, this is probably the hedge line shown alongside the standing stones, rather than the stone row we thou...

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab : View between Talfarn y Bwlch stone pair. This photo, taken Good Friday 2009, shows (I'm fairly sure) Garn Farw on the horizon, bearing 282, and 11.9 miles away. It really can be that clear in Wales, but please don't tell anyone! (3 comments)

Tafarn-y-Bwlch
Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by PaulM : Talfarn y Bwlch Stone Complex, Nr Brynberian, Pembrokeshire GR: 081337 These two standing stones located at GR: SN08153370 form part of a complex which includes a further standing stone close by at GR: SN08053390 and a group of stones which some believe may once have formed part of a stone circle at SN 08353405.
