Re: Aligned series of 18 Dolmens over 500m? by onetwoescape on Monday, 27 September 2021

Thanks for the comments to give an.idea of scale.
The stones are generally very large blocks . Too big for normal upland north wales wall construction. Situated as they are too far from the existing substantial stone walls to be considered as material for them or another non existing wall.
They diverge away across open boulder strewn land from the os marked footpath.

Seems the coordinates point to a location in Hampshire instead of Wales. The stones photographed do not really resemble dolmens, don't they?

    I've updated the grid ref. They appear to be piles of stones, definitely not dolmens. The whole area is covered in stones, plenty of material for the nice field walls.

      Thanks David and Martin, they don't look like dolmens to me either.

        Looks like field clearance, Probably from when the very nearby track was constructed.

Aligned series of 18 Dolmens over 500m? by Andy B on Saturday, 18 September 2021

I am aware there are a large number of sites in the area surrounding Dyffryn Arddudwy.
However i can find no mention of this over 500 metre set of 18 or more aligned Dolmens. They are also clearly visible by ESRI as an east west alignment.

Running from grid ref 615223-610223 close to the Afon Ysgethin Pontfadog Bridge
