I think I may have discovered one of the elusive stones in the row. It's a quartz boulder approximately 50cm diameter and is only approximately 30cm high. It is on the alignment. It is at SH 6643 1363.

Update November 2019: More information about this stone alignment can be found on the Stone Rows of Great Britain's website - see their entry for Rhos Hafotty Carneddau, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in July 2016, photographs of the alignment and its individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
The SRoGB also includes sections for 'Landmark Reveals', which illustrates through photographs the significant landmarks and views which come into (and out of) view as you progress along the row).
