Log Text: Take the turn onto Dan-Y-Coed, a residential dead-end street on the S edge of Pontsticill. There is room to park at the end of the cul-de-sac. Follow a grass track N for c. 200 yards to reach a sheepfold. Walk NW for c. 300 yards to a small stone covered cairn, Bryn Glas III. Walk c. 30 yards N to Bryn Glas IV, then c. 85 yards N to Pontsticill Ring Cairn and its small satellite cairn Bryn Glas V. My route is viewable on Pontsticill Cairns.
The Bryn Glas cairns are difficult to locate in open moorland due to their low stature. GPS navigation would be advantageous.

Impressively situated on the hillside close to St. David's Head, Coetan Arthur is the collapsed chamber of what is presumed to be a passage grave which also has a round barrow. The massive capstone measures approximately 5.9 meters by 2.6 meters and is supported on one side by an orthostat approximately 1.5 meters in height.

NGR: SN06093930 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located close to the centre of Newport in Pembrokeshire with public access. Although called a tripod dolmen four uprights exist - only two of which support the capstone (which is said to replicate the summit of Carn Ingli to the south).
Excavations have revealed cremated bone, Beaker and Grooved ware sherds.

Log Text: Carreg Coetan Arthur Dolmen is enclosed by a hedge in Newport. It's survival in an urban development is against the odds so the existence of this small dolmen should be celebrated.

The Devil's Quoit submitted by Adam Stanford on 16th Nov 2006. Devils Quoit (PEM 25) also known as Broomhill Barrows near Freshwater West. I would suggest this is a collapsed burial chamber rather than earthfast (as stated by Nash 2006, Daniel 1950 and others). I say this because of what looks like a large collapsed orthostat that is now visible and that the capstone rests on. The monument consists of five visible stones. 1 capstone, 2 orthosatats, 1 collapsed or horizontal stone and another vertical stone resting on the eastern side of the capstone. I woul...

Log Text: Fortunately the field was in grass when I visited so I was able to get close to The Devil's Quoit. It appears to be a collapsed chamber, the sole remnant of a chambered cairn. The chamber is orientated on a NE-SW axis.

Harold Stone (Bosherton) submitted by Bladup on 13th Sep 2013. Harold Stone (Bosherton) - it looked to my eyes to have maybe once been a side slab of a ruined chamber [quoit], and the stones around it - field clearance or part of a chambered cairn?

Log Text: I agree with Bladup: the standing stone could be a remnant of a chamber. It is erected in a grassy mound studded with exposed stones possibly indicating a ruined cairn.

Devil's Quoit (Stackpole) submitted by Horatio on 19th May 2019. Access is easy to find if approaching from Stackpole warren, after entering the double gate enclosure from the woods, before leaving through the second gate in front of you. look right and you'll see a side gate that leads to the stone.

Log Text: The Devil's Quoit (Stackpole) is easy to visit from Stackpole Quay Car Park. Head W out of the car park. After c. 400 yards head straight through a crossroad. Continue W for c. 500 yards to reach a path heading S. Take the path S heading for a forest. After you exit the forest turn W into a field for c. 120 yards to reach Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren). My walking route is viewable on Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren).
