Godre'r Garn Las Cairn submitted by sem on 14th Nov 2017. Taken from Coflein - "Despite its ruinous condition, the cairn's proximity to two stone circles suggests a Bronze Age date for the mound."

Nant Tarw ESE submitted by enkidu41 on 9th Jun 2004. SN 819 258
This 8' long stone outlier lies WNW of the Nant Tarw ESE circle. The small upright slab standing next to it suggests it may be the remains of a row connected with this circle in the same way the Nant Tarw Stone Row is connected with the Nant Tarw WNW circle.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SN 85567 15530. From here walk north east along the waymarked path to SN 86957 16141. Head south east up the hill for about 850m.
It is always difficult to establish whether a line of boulders were deliberately placed or are instead the result of glacial or periglacial activity. Generally there must be a presumption in favour of natural origin, but occasionally some detail may hint at the possibility of human intervention. At Carreg Cadno a number of the boulders have been propped into position indicating that this site has been deliberately fashioned. What is less clear is whether this happened in prehistoric times. On balance the possibility of this feature being a form of prehistoric stone row remains the most likely explanation.
Pump Maen (Five Stones)

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.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SN 85567 15530. From here walk north east along the waymarked path to SN 86267 15799. Head south east up the hill for about 400m.
It is always difficult to establish whether a line of boulders were deliberately placed or are instead the result of glacial or periglacial activity. Generally there must be a presumption in favour of natural origin, but occasionally some detail may hint at the possibility of human intervention. At Careg Lwyd a number of details support the possibility that this line of stones was created by people. The first is the three stone arrangement at the southern end and the second is the fact that the northern stone is prominent on the skyline when viewed from the southern end. Finally, and most convincingly is the evidence that at least one of the stones has been propped into position with trig stones. Together these details strongly suggest that this site was deliberately fashioned, but whether this happened in prehistoric times is less certain. On balance there is a sound possibility of this feature being a form of prehistoric stone row.

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.

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.

Recumbent stones are shown green and those whose extent could not be determined are depicted as green circles. Only 11 stones were identified at the time of the survey but given the tiny size of some stones others may survive below the turf.
