Moel Goedog W submitted by w650marion on 12th Jul 2018. Just visited this favourite circle of mine and I was so sad to see that the plough has been taken so close to it. This is a comparison of this year's visit to last year's visit .

Recumbent stones are shown green and those whose extent could not be determined are depicted as green circles.

Rhos y Gelynen Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2008. Three standing stones, two prostrate, and one partially buried lie in a row west-south-west to east-north-east. A long walk for this, good footwear imperative. Best reached by first visiting the stones at Cefn Llanerchi near the masts and aerials, then cutting a line out west to reach a track which runs past them. Any lower approach ends up being horrendously boggy.

Log Text: There is no legal right of public access to this row, but the owners are apparently happy for people to visit providing they shut the gates and cause no damage. Indeed the route to the row at the time of the visit was signposted by bags placed over the gateposts. Park at SN 95208 55592 and walk along the road to SN 94878 55596. Enter the field and walk north to the next gate. The row is visible from the road.
