Llech y Drybedd Ancient Monument
Small cromlech/dolmen situated in a field with spectacular views of the Preseli Hills.
Standing in a field west of Moylegrove is Llech y Drybedd Cromlech. Legend has it that the capstone was thrown by a giant from Carningli Mountain to it's current resting spot.
The location of this Cromlech is spectacular with views of the Preseli Hills and Carningli Mountain making this a very special place indeed.
From a certain angle, the capstone certainly does appear to mimic the outline of Carningli Mountain, but the capstone shows no signs of having been crafted in any way or form - so possibly just a coincidence.
How long this ancient site will remain standing will depend on the elements, the capstone has a sizable crack pretty much through it's entirety now, and also one of the uprights has split completely through.

Directions:
Head on the coastal road to Moylegrove from Newport, when you start coming down hill after approximately 4 miles, you will see a concreted private farm track on your right. This is the track that leads to Llech y Drybedd. It has a very small sign that mentions Cromlech. Follow this track on foot until it forks into two grassy tracks. Take the left track, and after a short distance you will see a style on your right. Over the style and in to the field - Llech y Drybedd will be right in front of you.
