Log Text: Car parking is available at SH 65755 14316. Walk south along the public highway to SH 65863 14226. From here head south along a footpath to SH 65545 13823. Then head west to SH 65288 13938. The row is in the field on your left and can be seen clearly. Permission to enter the field will need to be sought locally.
Originally interpreted as a stone circle, the surviving evidence best fits the idea that this is a kerbed cairn associated with a truncated stone alignment. It has been suggested by Lynch that stones C and D “may have been moved when the monument was incorporated into a field wall” (Lynch, 1995, 56). Whilst this suggestion cannot be wholly refuted, the stones stand some distance from the former field wall and tantalisingly the form of the site is very reminiscent of the stone alignments at Lakehead Hill East and Merrivale 3, where stones of earlier stone rows had been partly incorporated into a later cairn. On balance, the lack of any evidence to support the field wall interpretation combined with the powerful parallels lends considerable support to the hypothesis that this site represents a stone alignment. Final confirmation, as with so many rows, may only be possible after excavation.

Rhos Hafotty Carneddau submitted by JohnnyP on 25th Feb 2007. Stone 2 Looking south towards Cadair Idris, located at SH66421363 around 3 ft high.
These stones did take a while to locate due to other debris. There is a cairn nearby.

Lochbuie Kerb Cairn submitted by Nick on 2nd Nov 2003. Set in a group of trees around 100m NW of the stone circle, this rather ruinous kerb cairn still retains sufficient structure to make it worth a look. It is about 6.5m across, and has a 'false' entrance to the SE. The stones on the northern and southern arcs are still pretty much in situ.
