SandyG visited on 24th Aug 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 1 Access: 2 Limited car parking is available at SN 93030 95861. From here follow the road and track westward to SN 91937 95248 where the right fork should be followed to SN 91879 95630. From here walk towards the stile that provides access to the field and the row.
This is a good, shapely and large stone maybe three metres long and one metre high, it is perfect except in it's horizontally. But even a fallen standing stone affords us the view of the end that should be in the ground. Even though its part of a small complex of sites, I would come and had a look even if were on it's own.
Some good map reading required here to navigate through the maze of tracks that lead to the turbines entry points.
Update October 2019: This row is recorded on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Carreg Clwyd, which includes a description, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones (including the recumbent monolith recorded by Postman), a plan of the row from a recent survey in August 2018, access information and links to other online resources for more information.
The recumbent stone and alignment are also recorded as Coflein NPRN 304901 (Careg Llwyd, Carno) and scheduled as CADW MG291 (Carreg Lwyd Ritual Complex)
The SRoGB also includes a link to the Excavation Report: Carno Windfarm, Trannon Moor (May 2000), and also illustrates the location of the row in the landscape, with views of cairns visible on the skyline from the row.
