Description
Trying to put the Waun Mawn stones in to context, this view is looking from the north with the Preseli Hills in the background. The rock outcrop on the slope (above the standing stone) is the spotted dolerite Tor of Carn Goedog where it is believed some of the Bluestones came from for stonehenge (via Waun Mawn) On the horizon to the right of the large 'saddle' shaped outcrop (Carn Gyfrwy- translates as Carn Saddle) can be seen just poking above the stones of Carn Meini where it WAS believed for several decades that the Bluestones came from for stonehenge.

There is no believable evidence from Carn Goedog that there ever was a quarry there -- and nothing to link Carn Goedog with Waun Mawn. The stones at Waun Mawn are unspotted dolerite -- no trace of any spotted dolerite there.

An impressive photo. The the foreground stones, and the distant hills, even the lay of the land in the middle ground ate compelling. I don't know what the reference points suggest re the Bluestones origins but the 3 waun mawn stones seem to be echoing the 3 middle and long distance rock masses. This is intentional landscape theatre, even if we don't yet get the meaning. Great photo.
