| Wow, parallels with Maen Mawr/Cerrig Duon there. |

Some similarities maybe but also differences too I would say. Maen mawr and it's two companions are in a N/S relationship and their midday shadows give a samhein/Imbolc date reference. This row is aligned approx. 153/333 deg's which is outside any date markings, so it presumably had a different purpose. Curiously if the alignment is carried on it passes through other stones to the N/W and also the trig point on N51.883 W-3.581. This is the best time of year to see this because it gets overgrown in the summer. Not much use during this lockdown I know but maybe something to put on the list for more normal times. |

Very good. Maen Mawr has more than two stones, the others are very small though... |

Guess the point is the Cerrig Duon 'alignment' is, from what I recall, a double... so maybe an avenue heading up from the Tawe; whereas here we have a single row, right? Assume no close proximity associates to Maen Llia are suspected? |

This is a row of flat slabby recumbents heading uphill towards Maen Llia as a unified entity, whereas the avenue at Cerrig Duon could be considered a separate entity from Maen mawr and the circle stones. I personally believe all the elements at Cerrig duon are part of one overall scheme but it does seem different to the Maen Llia set up to me. |
