Abstract:		 Meini Gwyr is a relict circular embanked stone and earthen monument, probably raised for burial and possibly for ceremonial during the Bronze Age. Sited in south-west Wale, it lies within a complex of prehistoric features in fields centred upon though mostly lying to the west and north of Glandy Cross, straddling the Carmarthenshire/Pembrokeshire boundary. A stone circle was first noted here in the late seventeenth century and though all but two of its stones are now lost. Using all available data and paying particular attention to antiquarian sources, it is here intended to evaluate the long-term destruction and excavation of the monument; to consider its relationship to Bronze Age burial and ritual monument typologies and briefly to relate the site to theories about Wales and Stonehenge in British later prehistory.
