Bach-sylw
Bach-sylw submitted by Couplands : Larger stone ~2m in foreground, looking almost due west to smaller stone ~1.5m. Zoomed in to show smaller stone better (not possible to get closer as it's on private land). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two standing stones with almost perfect east-west alignment. Eastern stone ~2m tall and the western being ~1.5m tall. Alignment carried to the east comes in at ~90m north of Gwal y Filiast and to the west, cutting through the middle of the various known standing stones and barrows near Maen-hîr Farm.

I came across them whilst out walking in mid October 2023, couldn't find any record of them online and submitted the info to Dyfed Archaeological Trust, who confirmed there being no record of them and have added it to Archwilio here.

Note: Two newly discovered standing stones - well done Couplands!
