Y Gromlech Yn Yr Haidd | Forum — The Modern Antiquarian

In a recent talk with a landowner in North Wales, who told me of a decent cairn to visit (Frith y Ddwyffrwd),
http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=12098
I was also told of a story by Islwyn Ffowc Elis - Y Gromlech Yn Yr Haidd (The Cromlech in the Barley Field), which is a tale of a farmer who interferes with a cromlech, and ill fortune befalls him and his family.

Sounds like something from Tales of the Unexpected.

Anyone know if this has been translated into English? I've dug around a bit, but no luck yet.

Thanks

Tim

There is lots of folk lore about farmers removing stones. having bad luck and having to put them back.

The story of the lightning storm while Long Meg at al were being destroyed is a prime example of such tales.

I don't think 'Y Gromlech Yn Yr Haidd' is available in English. It's published by Gomer Press, so you could drop them a line and find out.
