**Llanerchi Mound** submitted by geoffstickland : On the open mountain near to the 2 recumbent stones of the Cefn Llanerchi Stones. Difficult to find without good GPS device. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Cairn in Powys. Possibly a Bronze Age Round Barrow, much reduced, possibly robbed. About 20' across with visible banks and a central depression.

.

Archwilio lists two "possible" standing stones in the area:
Rhos y Gellynnen Standing stones I & II at SN90086342 and SN90066313 respectively. I was unable to find either of these stones. Of course, this does not mean they are not there.
