Three standing stones, two prostrate, and one partially buried lie in a row west-south-west to east-north-east. A long walk for this, good footwear imperative.
Update November 2019: More information about this alignment can be found on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Rhos y Gelynen, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2018, photographs of the alignment and its individual stones, access information and links to online resources for more information.
The row is also recorded as Coflein NPRN 261786 (Rhos-y-Gelynnen Stones) and scheduled as RD195 (Rhos y Gelynnen Stone Row) on the CADW website.
