A multi-million pound windfarm looks set to be scrapped after an ancient Stone Age monument was spotted on the site using Google Earth.
Workers had already begun installing 15 wind turbines on the mountain top in Wales when a walker stumbled upon a row of stones on the site and realised they were of historical interest.
Archaeologists then plotted the line of stones on Google Earth and decided the relics must be around 3,500 years old.

One expert says the 500-metre long monument is ‘almost as important as Stonehenge’ and could be part of an ancient site of worship.
The British Archaeological Trust today demanded work be halted on the windfarm in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.
SECRETS OF THE STONES
A stone row (or stone alignment) is a linear arrangement of standing stones set at intervals along an axis.
These usually date from the later Neolithic or Bronze Age, and can stretch over a few metres or several kilometres.
They are thought to be religious or ceremonial and could mark out a processional routes or be aligned with other monuments or topographical or astronomical features.
Another theory is that each generation would erect a new stone to contribute to a sequence that demonstrated a people’s continual presence.
The rows have been found in the British Isles, parts of Scandinavia and northern France.
Experts had supposedly already searched Mynydd Y Betws for archaeological relics ahead of the building work, so the Trust is now calling for a survey of the whole mountain.
Trust spokesman Peter Alexander-Fitzgerald said: ‘It is surprising the planners missed this important find – it is visible on Google Earth’s satellite pictures of the area.
‘It could be one of the most important stone alignments in Britain – a sort of flattened Stonehenge.
‘You have to remember that all is showing is the top of these stones – we don’t know what else is there.’
The line of stones is very similar to ones found on Dartmoor and could have a stone circle at its end.
Mr Alexander-Fitzgerald added: ‘This could form a landscape of major importance.’
Local rambler and amateur archaeologist Sandy Gerrard spotted the stones while out walking with friends.
Mr Gerrard, 52, said: ‘I was having a look around the site area when I saw what looked like a stone row.
‘My wife was walking in a separate group and when we met up she told me she had also spotted them – there was nothing else they could be.
‘If people carrying out the surveys could miss something as important and as obvious as this, what else could be hiding up there?’
Freelance archaeologist Helen Gerrard described the find as ‘tremendously important’.
She said: ‘There is only one of its type in Britain which has even been partially excavated.
History lesson: The British Archaeological Trust has called for work on the ancient site to stop and a full survey to be carried out
Intriguing: An archaeologist said the find on a Welsh mountainside could be ‘almost as important as Stonehenge’
‘This could be almost as important as Stonehenge.’
The Welsh Government gave Carmarthenshire County Council the go-ahead for the windfarm, which will supply enough electricity to supply 23,800 households.
A spokesman for Cambrian Renewable Energy Ltd said: ‘We can confirm that a stone alignment was recently discovered traversing the construction corridor.
‘Although a comprehensive archaeological survey of the site, including a large series
of trial excavations was undertaken these previously hidden features were only revealed
following a gorse fire since the archaeological survey was completed.
Construction works in the area were diverted while we worked with Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Government’s heritage organization Cadw to fully survey the area and catalogue the finds.
‘This work is now complete and Cadw and the council are satisfied that construction works in the area can proceed.
‘The significance of the find has yet to be evaluated but three stones have been
excavated and removed under controlled conditions by our professional archaeologists.
‘We will continue to work closely with experts from the council and Cadw.’
The turbines, at 416ft high, would be almost as tall as the London Eye, bigger than Big Ben and bigger than Wales’ highest residential building, the Swansea Marina Meridian Quay Tower.
The plan has proved hugely controversial particularly as an environmental impact assessment has made it clear it will affect red kite, golden plover and bat populations in the area.

Building these massive turbines anywhere in our green and pleasant land will, when history is written, be regarded as an act of vandalism and one of the biggest financial scandals, along with bankers bonuses, of out time.
Are you disillusioned by rising electricity prices, over dependence on the “green” dream [especially uneconomical and inefficient wind farms] and the destruction of our countryside then please register your objection to the Government by GOOGLING “E-PETITION 22958” and following the link.

we all know this isn’t gonna stop….as long as it’s away from london…they just don’t give a damn…this is an example of killing the natural beauty of our country…tear down the wall….

Now let us all get out and find dem stones, dem holy stones and keep our land free of Don Quixote’s windmills!

The windfarm should be scrapped full stop.

Bet she goes home and switches on her kettle for a brew. She expects power at her fingertips yet uses these useless objects to stop an important project. What use are they? If she likes them that much she should dig them up and take them home.

Carmarthenshire CC spent 100’s of thousands of council tax payers pounds and closed the mountain road for months in order to widen and strengthen a bridge over a small stream, so the construction traffic could access this site. They disregarded everyone’s opposition to this wind farm, I’m very happy the British Archaeological Trust has called a halt to this travesty. The views from this area are fantastic. I hope it is stopped totally and the contractor should “make good” the scarring of this landscape.

Good news at last.!

Now that is what I call good news – one less of these pointless, expensive follies defacing the countryside. All “greens” in favour of them should be denied access to electricity on calm days.

All wind farms should be scrapped. They are complete unreliable rubbish, just a money making scam for the manufacturers ( probably not made in the UK) and the maintenance firms with contracts.
