That's it basically. Is this site mis-named or is 'Cerrig-y-Derwyddion' an alternative name?

I think this is the National Monument Record for it:

"ion" is a plural suffix in Welsh, pronounced "yonn". So it seems probable that "Derwyddion" is the correct spellling. Something to do with oak trees presumably? Stone of the oak trees?

("Derw" = oak; "ydd" appears to be an archaic form of "yr" = the; ion = plural suffix).
