The stones are very small and some are badly frost damaged and coming loose in their sockets - you could literally pick one up and remove it. It's so hidden away that hardly anyone goes there - in a clearing in an area of forestry on top of the mountain.

I've alerted CADW several times now but I think it's low on their list of priorities. It's a shame because even though it's tiny it's part of an immediate complex of tumulus, ring cairn and a stone row and part of the greater prehistoric landscape which centres on the Towy valley - a network of amazing menhirs, barrows, and alignments. Burl took an interest in it in the seventies but now it's almost forgotten.

It's worth a visit for the stupendous scenery alone - I'll post directions and a itinerary which takes it all in one of these days when there's time.

If you've alerted CADW, then hpefully they'll keep an eye out for tree felling. That's one of the problems with planations. They last long enough for people to forget about what was there beofre planting.
