There may be a cupmark on one of the stones.
Update August 2019: This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Waun Oer, which includes a description, photographs, a plan of the alignment and a section on 'Landmark Reveals' - which landscape features become visible/disappear as you move along the alignment. The SRoGB entry tells us there are a total of 10 stones in the row, made up of large, small and medium stone, three of which may be natural rocks, and two of which have probably been moved/relocated. They note there are "historic clearance cairns around three of the stones".
The row is also recorded as Standing Stones, Morfa, which tells us this is "A group of five stones, three erect & two recumbent, extending from SH61711127 to SH61771130". It also has a Scheduled Monument entry: CADW 3222 (Group of standing stones 810m SW of Bryn Seward).
