Meini Hirion (Kidwelly) 1

I'm sure I've already asked once, written the answer done safely and then lost the piece of paper.

Maen Hir

Sometimes means Long Stone, but when it's considered to be an abbreviation of Meini Hiron (spell?) what does that one mean?

I'm not Kammer, sorry, but I know that meini and maen both mean stone.

Hir or hirion, I have no idea about at all. :-(

I'm not great at Welsh, but I think your Meini Hiron should be Meini Hirion. If I understand correctly, 'Meini Hirion' is a plural form of 'Maen Hir'.

I'll double check that though.
