Crug-y-biswal submitted by PaulM : The Crug-y-biswal barrow on Mynydd Llanllwni Common on the opposite side of the road from the denuded cairn. The site is right by the road and a noticeboard describes a number of prehistoric sites in the area including the nearby Crugiau Edryd barrow cemetery. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Re: Crug-y-biswal by Anonymous on Sunday, 07 August 2011
Thanks PAB. It looks like the former rather than the latter. I saw the ring cairn over the road. The brief description doesn't mention the stones though. How can I get a look at these documents, do I have to write into Cadw?

This site and most others on Mynydd Llanllwni are about to be overwhelmed by the development of a major wind turbine installation.
Please participate in the Carmarthenshire County Council planning application process and submit your objections in due course.

Thankyou.

    I've just come back from a holiday in Lampeter and I found this site by accident. There is a semicircle of stones around this monument but I can't find any reference to them in the literature, even Aubrey Burl says nothing. Are they a modern addition?
