Gors Fawr, 'Great Marsh' is located below the beautiful Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire (SN134294) near to the village of Mynachlog Ddu. This is one of the few complete stone circles in west Wales and is made up of 16 relatively small stones grading upwards in height towards the south. The circle is 73ft in diameter. Approximately 440ft north east of the circle is a pair of standing stones 48ft apart aligned in a north eastern direction towards the midsummer sunrise or midwinter sunset. The western stone is 6ft 2ins in height and the eastern one 5ft 7ins in height. If you take a line of sight from the southernmost stone in the circle and line this up mid way between the standing stones it points in the direction of a rocky outcrop 'Carn Menyn' on the Preseli Hills where the bluestones of stone henge are thought to have been derived.
