Bancbryn on the edge of the Brecon Beacons
Distribution of long single rows composed of more than 10 small and/or medium sized stones
S10 type stone rows are found exclusively in South West Britain with most being on the moors of South West England. Two of the Welsh examples have views of South West England and the third is Mynydd Clywedog in Snowdonia. The focussed character of this distribution implies that this form of row was not built in other parts of the country but given their fragility they may once have been more widespread. It is clear however that lines of small stones without a plausible alternative interpretation standing within a solid prehistoric context in South West Britain are very likely to be stone rows.
