Description
An alignment of unevenly spaced boulders is located within the Llia valley ritual complex (see NPRN 84541). It lies to the south-east of Maen Llia. Six low, earthfast boulders are aligned, north-north-west by south-south-east over a distance of 12.7m. They are barely visible above surrounding molinia grassland, and the most southerly stone is partly obscured. A further 24m to the SSE is an `outlier? on the same alignment. The east edges of the stones appear to align with Maen Llia. A larger stone on the same alignment lies some 250m to the south-south-east at SN92531895. It measures 1.4m across and 0.5m high.
