SandyG visited on 30th Aug 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 1 Limited road side car parking is available at SH 91262 13047. From here it is possible to carefully cross the busy A458 and follow the farm road to Braich-llwyd and then the track to access land at SH 90203 13770. From here follow the track northward to the row. Alternatively permission to use the track leading north from Braich-llwyd could be sought at the farm or nearby Talglanau.
Information for this alignment comes from the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Mynydd Clywedog. SRoGB tells us this single stone row 123.6m long and is made up of at least 10 standing stones. It is "situated at the western foot of a pronounced ridge. The row is orientated north to south and protrudes from deep peat which means that the stones will be much bigger and others may be completely hidden".
The SRoGB entry includes a description, plans of the row (from a survey carried out in August 2019, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
SandyG also explores and illustrates the sea views and landscape features visible from the row, adding: "The row has a sea view reveal, a possible astronomical link and stands in the vicinity of cairns … This stone row was found in the 1980’s by the farmer Tegwyn Jones". The row is also recorded as Coflein NPRN 508330 (Stone Row, Mynydd Clywedog), who surveyed the site in 2009.
