Cwm Ystradllyn Stone Alignment
Cwm Ystradllyn Stone Alignment submitted by TAlanJones : View to the SE along the alignment. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Situated on high marshland to the north of Llyn Ystradllyn lie a row of boulders aligned NW to SE.

The site is located on drier, slightly higher ground to the marsh around it. Coflein has recorded the site as NPRN 287846 and they consider it to be prehistoric. The site is said to consist of five stones being approximately 20m long including the gaps. Coflein also suspect that two stones may be missing. During my visit I found an alignment of four boulders approximately 20m long and following the orientation provided by Coflein. I also noted a 5th boulder about 60m further down to the SE.

The site lies close to a cairn cemetery, also recorded by Coflein and I noted a possible large cairn with a cracked capstone suggesting the possibility of this being a more complex site.
