Though Dolymen or similar doesn't show on the map, J Byatt's grid ref seems to point to Breconshire, (just E of Ystradfellte, where the terrain matches her description) yet her other specimens same date are from Cardiganshire - Borth Bog and Tre'rddol. Fiddling the grid ref as written, to be more like these others, gives us Cors Fochno which is in line, but at sea level and a little distance from the land at 1000ft of this label
