This Neolithic Cromlech is just outside the small village of Llanglyydwen, west Carmarthenshire near the upper reaches of the river Taf.
It dates from around 4000 B.C and consists of a 13ft capstone supported by four uprights with an opening facing the river below.
The literal translation of its Welsh name means 'Lair of the grey hound bitch' but was more likely named after a 'Lair of Wolves'
