Prehistoric Stone at Dyffryn Syfynwy
We made a video exploring the history and legends of the Dyffryn Stones
A collection of our research regarding the destroyed monuments at Eithbed.
The following is from 1911 and describes the destruction: “Stone Circle, Maenclochog. – Your Committee have to report with regret that a very perfect circle has been entirely destroyed near this village at Eithbed West. The place, formely part of the Picton Estate, changed hands last year, and the owner, Mr. Davies, wishing to clear his land of stones, and in entire ignorance of the existence of prehistoric remains there, carted the whole thing away. He also completed the destruction of the neighbouring Cromlechs, part of which had been taken in 1907 to build a wall at Maenclochog. The circle and Cromlechs are fully described in the Archaeological Survey.”
