Meini Hirion

The two Meini Hirion (also Llanbedr Stones ( German  "Long Stones" Dwygyfylchi or Seward Hill called) menhirs Welsh Maen hir - English Standing stone ) are said to be the remainder of a stone circle . You are in a field west of the A496, and east of the River Artro ( Welsh Afon Artro ) northwest of the church of Llanbedr and north of the village, at Harlech in Gwynedd in Wales . Meini Hirion Welsh for "long stones" - is also one of the names of the stone circle Druid's Circle .

The slender stones stand next to an oak tree and are surrounded by an iron grille ( location ). They are about 3.0 and 2.1 m high and oriented north-south. Earlier reports speak of a third stone about 1.0 m high. But there is no archaeological evidence that they are the remains of a stone circle.

The spiral stone

The spiral stone of Llanbedr (also called St Peter's Church Spiral Stone or Llanbedr Spiral Stone) is in the St Peter's Church of Llanbedr. The stone slab has an incised spiral with seven turns and a diameter of about 35 cm ( position ) at one end . According to a note in the church, the stone was found in the hills above Dyffryn Ardudwy by a Dr. Griffith found in a prehistoric round hut. The spiral in the Neolithic style is reminiscent of the spirals in the megalithic complexes on Anglesey ( Barclodiad y Gawres , Bryn Celli Ddu ) and in the Boyne Valley ( Newgrange ) in Ireland.
