Stone Row / Alignment in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

Coflein has this site down as a possible stone row, I am inclined to agree.
There are four stones, stone one is in the north west about two foot tall, across the grassy path is stone two, an impressive six footer, with holes drilled in two sides. Stone three is in the south east and has fallen, it's six feet long, and has a drill hole in its upper surface. Stone four is fifty yards up hill, out of line with the other three, and also holed, leading us through a cleft in the hill tops towards Pen Llithrig y wrach. Views north to Pen y Gaer and the Conway valley is extremely pleasant.
