**Waen Bryn-Gwenith** submitted by Postman : Stone 1, the possible collapsed dolmen, with Moel Eilio beyond (Vote or comment on this photo)

Possible collapsed burial chamber. There are two stones here noted by Coflein.

Stone 1 is a possible collapsed dolmen. I'm totally convinced, the views are as ever breathtaking.
Right on top of the hill is a long rectangular stone, Stone 2. It is not a menhir or a capstone, but the ancients definitely moved it here.
