I guess it's possible that my stone wasn't the right one, but it looked convincing. There are a lot of stones with this name in the area. Is it possible that Blonde's is a different one? I guess this is unlikely though.

There's loads of that going on in our area. The rivers and valleys seem to have been of special significance to the Bronze Age people of Ceredigion. The cairns in particular (Hirnant, Dolgamfa etc) are planted overlooking the Rheidol Gorge, but then there sites like Ysbytty Cynfyn that are just over the hill from the river (coincidence or part of a cunning plan?). I find it fascinating, but nobody else comes a'visiting round here.
