SandyG visited on 21st Mar 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Limited road verge car parking is available at SN 72829 83600. From here walk up the farm track to SN 72866 83754. Head east following the fence and cross the small stream. The ground is very uneven so take care. Once across the stream head south east towards the row.
Series of 7 stones, possibly standing, each in closely spread row (NE-SW).
This stone row is recorded as Coflein NPRN 282230.
Update September 2019: This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain - see their entry for Disgwylfa Fach, which includes a description, photographs of the row and the individual stones, a plan of the row and its associated features (from a survey in March 2016), plus access information. The survey concludes that the row is 14.6m long, with 8 small and medium stones, the larges stone being a quartz boulder at its northern end.
The SRoGB adds: " …. the possibility of it being the much truncated remains of a field boundary cannot be entirely discounted". They also add a note of caution for visitors: "The ground is very uneven so take care".
