Carreg Y Bwci
Carreg Y Bwci (also The Goblin stone - German "the goblin stone " ) is located in the heath of Llanycrwys , right on the road, about seven kilometers from Lampeter in the north of Carmarthenshire in Wales . The sunken Ringcairn has a large stone on the inside.
His unexamined status is out of the ordinary. It was described as a burial chamber, burial mound , enclosure with a stone and a Roman watchtower. The latter mainly because it is close to the Sarn Helen Roman road .
It is protected as a Scheduled Monument.
Legend
In the 17th century a young man looking for work made the mistake of sleeping next to him. At midnight he was woken up by someone who pinched his arms and ears and stuck a finger into his nose. In the faint light of the stars, he saw a goblin sitting on the stone with a number of others around him. The young man tried to escape, but the chief goblin ordered his servants to hold him back. They tormented him until the first light of day when the goblins disappeared. When the man told his story to a few passers-by, he was told that he had slept under the goblin stone.
The stone is said to attract lightning strikes and three men were killed here during a thunderstorm.
Nearby is the Hirfaen Gwyddog menhir .
