It has been suggested, in 'Neolithic Sites of Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire' (Logaston Press), that four of the five chambered tombs here are sited facing local landmarks - Carningli, Dinas Head, Mynydd Dinas and Mynydd Melyn. A check of the OS Map show that to be true - treaclechops notes the tomb facing Dinas Head. So where does the fifth (north) chamber point to?
Looks like down a deeply incised valley towards the sea. Perhaps all this is represents a spiritual/energetic connection for those souls buried there.

Apropos the joke about Elvis Preseli that Moss makes, it is interesting to note that Elvis's parents were named Vernon and Gladys - both old Welsh names!
Local actor and author, Dave Ainsworth, recently wrote and performed (at the Pembroke Festival) a funny monologue entitled 'Was Elvis a Welsh Saint?'
Also apropos Moss' comments about the three cromlechs in the Nine Wells area, of which St Elvis's is one, they are near the farm called 'Llandruidion' which is a place name that crops up near several west Wales monuments eg near Rhos y Clegryn.
