Myrddin's Quoits
Myrddin's Quoits ( German Merlins Quoit - also called Cerrig Myrdddin or "Rhyd Lydan Cromlech ") is probably the remnant of a chamber grave ( English Chambered tomb ) of an unknown type, on a field border, west of Llangain , southwest of Carmarthen in Carmarthenshire in Wales .
Myrddin's Quoit is made up of two white, upright stones (there are reports of a third) that are believed to have been part of a burial chamber. As with the two stones from Meini Elwydion, southwest of Llangain, there is no trace of the covering hill here either, so an alternative classification as a stone pair is possible.
There is a single menhir about 90 m to the south .
Myrddin's Quoit is a Scheduled Monument .
