Llwyncwmstabl submitted by sem on 17th Sep 2009. Though it looks insignificant, this cairn is beautifully visible from Llorfa circle across the valley and from other points in the area.
It appears to me that the people who built these monuments designed them to be viewed. Could this mean that the point of viewing was as sacred as the monument itself?

Pump Maen (Five Stones)
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2010
Pump Maen (Five Stones) submitted by sem on 25th Apr 2010. Pump Maen - Five Stones
The first four can be seen but a fifth lies hidden among the grey of rock outcrops.
The row points to a sixth stone on the horizon. This marks a route down a treacherous scree/cliff slope.
The row is aligned at the same angle as Carreg Cadnow Row, but as CC also points to a way down whether there is an Astronomical angle is debateable.
