It looks lovely, me and Moss never found it, but I expect you have to walk up from the car park in the village somehow. moss Posted by moss

I couldnt find anyway to it from the village, I think I came at it from the northwest.
It looks totally different to my autumnal pics, much more sunlight, new and shiny, a fantastic dolmen in the best surroundings, i'm really glad you found it.

I actually found it quite easily as there is a track that leads down to it from a minor road.....probably the same one you are thinking of Postie.
I will put something together in a field not for this and some of the other sites I visited.

Yeah, that's right. There's a public footpath leading to the site just below the Parc-rhos farm on the Login road south of Llanglydwen. Mind you, we had no need of a map since a local sheep dog literally led us right the way there, turned around as if to say 'there it is' and duly buggered off. I kid you not. Well this is the greyhound's kennel after all... GLADMAN Posted by GLADMAN

Thanks Gladman, marked it on my map. I love the way sheepdogs in Wales 'own' the piece of lane in front of farm entrances; driving round a sprawled dog in the middle of a road can be hazardous ;) moss Posted by moss
