The simulacra of the faces of Sir Gawain & the Green Knight facing each other at Lud’s Church. The several times I have been here now, most folk do not even know there is something here to see other than the impressive chasm.

A circumperambulation of the churchyard showed these in the SW section nearest the car park. The prominent stone is about centre of the picture. Not conclusive, but very reminiscent of Ysbyty Cynfyn. When visiting, there are also some historical information signs on the east outside the church wall near the pub, overlooking the valley.

Dyffryn Ardudwy is a very easily accessible site, which brings with it a problem. The larger, later dolmen is used as a den. A hearth was built against one of the uprights, now heavily sooted. The chamber was littered with drink cans, and the surrounding cairn has broken drinks bottles and glass in many places. We took away a carrier bag overflowing with unwanted material.

Do you see what I see? Do you see what we saw? Descending from Cerrig Arthur circle, to go to take in the Cerrig y Cledd stones (one a standing stone, the other with a sword imprint in two split halves) to the east, I noticed this apparent row of stones stretching through the fields in a NE direction. My companions thought that this *did* seem convincing at first sight. At least six stones could be seen in this apparent alignment, but had no time to investigate further.
