This complex of standing stones is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. They mark out a suggested prehistoric trackway leading along the lower slopes of Moel Goedog.
Update November 2019: The Stone Rows of Great Britain discusses the possibility of the nine standing stones at Moel Goedog making up a single stone row measuring 1,898 metres long, standing on a prominent ridge overlooking the sea. Their entry for Fonllech includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2018, photographs of all the stones in the alignment, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB also includes a section discussing the interpretation of this monument.
For information about the other stones in this probably alignment, see the individual site pages for Moel Goedog 1 to Moel Goedog 9 inclusive, plus the Moel Goedog E ring cairn.
