Row of stones from Parc Y Meirw
The Bronze Age stone line of Parc Y Meirw lies between Llanychaer and Mount Garn Fawr, east of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire . It is one of the rather rare rows of stones in Wales and a Scheduled Monument . The name Parc Y Meirw is translated as "field of the dead".
The north-west-south-east oriented row of stones consisted of seven or eight stones in an approximately 36.0 m long alignment and could have contained about 160 stones. Unequal distances indicate that many stones have likely been removed. The four remaining stones are in a field boundary and a hedge on the roadside - two act as goal posts. They are between 1.8 and 2.7 m high.
