This year's visit to Moel Geodog West surprised (shocked?) me as it appears the plough has been taken very, very close to the stones. A lot of new clearance work has been done in this field. A digger is visible on the far side of the field and stones have been piled up, in the centre in a line, and a pile at the back. I don't know if this clearance arrangement is new or not, but there is a young crop growing now, not the usual grass. It's possibly sugar beet - but the sheep are currently eating it. Reading the older comments here, it appears this lovely cairn circle has a history of damage. I've just referred to my copy of "A guide to Ancient and Historic Wales - Gwynedd" by Frances Lynch. There is a good bit of information about this cairn on page 49 and the cut away diagram shows the cairn extending almost 3 meters outside the uprights. I think the plough has been closer than that.
