Gray Hill stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill Stone Row, Monmouthshire, ST437936 - ST438935

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 .

Moel Goedog E submitted by PaulM on 1st Mar 2004. This is the Moel Goedog East circle located at SH61043245.
It has good views over Porthmadog Bay but interestingly the view to the Moel Goesdog W circle just down the hill is partially obscured.

Log Text: There is no legal right of public access to this row, but the owners are apparently happy for people to visit providing they shut the gates and cause no damage. Indeed the route to the row at the time of the visit was signposted by bags placed over the gateposts. Park at SN 95208 55592 and walk along the road to SN 94878 55596. Enter the field and walk north to the next gate. The row is visible from the road.
