Moel Goedog 3
Moel Goedog 3 submitted by Postman : Looking back up to the fort. (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of the stones of the Moel Goedog complex of standing stones if travelling towards Moel Goedog from the southwest, before you reach the ringcairns.

From Coflein
This complex of standing stones is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. They mark out a suggested prehistoric trackway leading along the lower slopes of Moel Goedog.

Update November 2019: The Stone Rows of Great Britain discusses the possibility of the nine standing stones at Moel Goedog making up a single stone row measuring 1,898 metres long, standing on a prominent ridge overlooking the sea. Their entry for Fonllech includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2018, photographs of all the stones in the alignment, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB also includes a section discussing the interpretation of this monument. This is the SRoGB's stone 4 in the row.

For information about the other stones in this probably alignment, see the individual site pages for Moel Goedog 1 to Moel Goedog 9 inclusive, plus the Moel Goedog E ring cairn.

My notes from Sept 2016:
Leaving the car parked in the wet grass at the side of the road, I walk off along the ancient trackway (central to the three routes) and up to the next field wall across the track. The next two stones should be in this field, one each side of the trackway, but the field is full of many inquisitive looking black bullocks that all come to have a look at me, and a huge white bull who keeps himself to himself in the corner of the field.

However, I can see the sixth and seventh stones within the field, and get some pictures of them between the bullocks. Both are fairly block shaped stones, one of them with a couple of flat fractured faces, the other much more rotund.
