Cornel Bach Standing Stones View all content for Cornel Bach

Here we are now, right at the foot of Mynydd Preseli. Yet another menhir site near Maenclochog (the village pub, despite being called the Globe Inn, has a painted sign showing a standing stone in a field). The stones lie on an NNE/SSW axis, although they do not seem to be oriented towards each other. The northern stone has four faces, yet feels triangular when viewed from any angle. It's about 5 and a half feet tall, oriented NNW/SSE and, like the other, has some smaller field clearance boulders dumped beside it including a startling great white quartzy one. The south stone lies on a parallel axis, a big fat boulder of a thing. About 80 metres separates them. It has a clear line of sight to the Eithbed burial chambers. visited 18 Aug 04
