Are they called arrow stones because they are arrow shaped, or because they are marks left from the sharpening of arrows?

Also, in perrenial RA dilemma style, what evidence dates them as prehistoric?

Having 'smelt' a few of these arrow stones at close hand at Ffridd Newydd and nearby at Afon Anafon, I would say that they are utilitarian rather than artistic.

As for age, all I can say is that they are old as in olde, not that that helps much.

Well worth a visit though if you are doing the Penmaenmawr / Tal y Fan area and strolling down the Roman (whoops!) Road.

What do you think Idwal? Nice pics by the way.
