Rhos y Gelynen Stones
Date Added: 7th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
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.

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 .
