We did that 16 years ago spent 2 weeks in west wales and went to find them all. There was one though that we just couldn’t find, we were in the right place according to all the information we could find at the time
Carreg Samson in Abercastle is another good chromlech. Waun Mawr up the Preselis is another good site to visit. It is where the bluestones of Stonehenge originally stood in their original stone circle before being moved to Salisbury Plain.
Amazing 👏
West wales here , my wife and I pack up food and bugger off looking for them and yes they are stunning. We sit and try and visualise how these fitted into a Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age landscape as their positions were of purpose. Luckily here in Wales there are many still standing in situ, many many more have destroyed though and some still haven’t been recorded yet . I have found many that have small upright stones still in situ and the cap stone is lying close by or is now part of a dry wall up a mountain…
One on the edge of the black mountains near Hay on Wye. Arthur’s Stone
I highly recommend Julian Cope’s book The Modern Antiquarian for learning more about the ancient monuments that are scattered all over this country.
I love these! I have several books that list the locations and some beliefs surrounding them.
