Tafarn-y-Bwlch Stones
The Tafarn-y-Bwlch Stones (also known as Waun Mawn Stones) are west of the hamlet of Tafarn-y-Bwlch, on an old pass through the Preseli Hills near Brynberian in Pembrokeshire in Wales .
The stone pair is part of the Talfarn-y-Bwlch complex, which includes the Troed y rhiw stone series and the Waun Mawn North and Northeast menhirs , which may be common remnants of the Waun Mawn stone circle .
The two menhirs of the pair of stones, each 1.3 m high, inclined to the north , were also regarded as the remains of a burial chamber. The eastern stone is pointed and the western one is rounded. It is unusual to find a pair of stones only three feet apart.
At the abandoned Talfarn y Bwlch Farm lie hundreds of huge, glacial smoothed and faceted boulders. Almost all of them are dolerites and gabbros , some of which weigh 20 tons.
The Tafarn-y-Bwlch Stones are protected as a Scheduled Monument .
