Think the answer is no to both, the Carreg Samson long barrow seems focussed on the little valley up from the sea and the island in front, also if you look from (the cairn?) at cerrig lladron and take a line from there, probably Mynydd Cilciffeth would stand in the way, which also has cairns at the summit... Postman might know...


LOL .Thanks Moss dunno how I missed that .Yep looks like Mynnd Cilciffeth would be in the way .Might that be be prominent ?.It's not that it's an "alignment " as such , unless of course the monumnet is oriented towards it , but from Carreg Samson to Myndd C it's very close to to equinox sunrise but if the horizon is just genearlly hilly it's even less salient .
