Log Text: Car parking is available at ND 16869 50479. From here follow the wind farm road to ND 15079 49832 then head west towards the row. In 2016 a twin wire electric fence was encountered but was high enough to pass under. Obviously care should be taken and it also best to assume that it is live.

Saith Maen WSW submitted by cerrig on 24th Jan 2010. This is looking South. It's a quite overgrown and confused site now. I counted upwards of 20 stones in this "coral", there should be only 8.
