Description Conglomerates.... this line of rocks caught my eye between the Bryn Seward alignment and the King's Grave cairn. I have included it here because frogcottage has mentioned metamorphic conglomerates as a possible explanation for the markings on the Cyfannedd Fawr erratic.

I can certainly image how such conglomerates would be smoothed down in glacial movement, but these were only a few hundred metres from the erratic itself, yet have a completely different appearance.
