Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 7646 Trust : Dyfed Community : Cilycwm Unitary authority : Carmarthenshire NGR : SN73704935 Site Type (preferred type first) : Bronze Age Stone Row Status : Scheduled Monument
Summary : Possibly associated with the group of four prehistoric ritual monuments, comprising of PRNs 7433 (a ring barrow), 7432 (a stone circle), 7431 (a round barrow) and 7434 (a possible stone row). All four sites are located on top of a ridge in what was once open moorland which is now afforested although the site has been left clear of trees. Access to the large unplanted area where these monuments lie is best gained up the eastern of the two firebreaks from the track to the SW which begins at Bwlch-y-rhiw. . The site is a row of three stones lying to the W of the stone circle between the circle and the round barrow. Another row of three stones (7434) lies to the E of ring cairn 7433.
Description : The site is recorded as a row of three stones lying to the west of the stone circle (PRN 7432) between the circle and round barrow PRN 7433. This stone setting was not recorded by Cadw in 1998, when they visited the four surviving monuments at this site, although it is included as an aside within the description of the stone circle (PRN 7432). Examination of the area between the stone circle and round barrow in 2002 failed to locate thestones, and they may have been lost. N Cook PFRS 2003
