Waun Mawn
Waun Mawn (Welsh for "peat moor") is a megalithic site in the Preseli Mountains of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Following excavations in 2018, it became the site of a supposed dismantled Neolithic stone circle. The diameter of the postulated circle was estimated to be 110 m (360 ft), making it the fifth largest diameter for a British stone circle, after Avebury, Stanton Drew, Karl Lofts, Long Meg, and The Ring of Brodgar. The site is located around 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south west of Brynberian. This tract of moorland sits on the southern slopes of the 339 m (1,112 ft) hill top of Cnwc yr Hŷdd ("cock of the corn"), just to the north of the broad east-west ridge of the Preseli range. There are four stones at the site today, one standing and three prostrate. Nearby are the Troed y Rhiw ("foot of the hillside") standing stones and to the west of the main group is another solitary standing stone, the 'Waun Mawn Stone', measuring some 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) high.
