NAR SH48SW1

Carreg Leidr or the 'thief stone' is a standing stone or erect monolith 1.6m high, 0.6m wide and 0.5m thick. It is notable for a distinct hump or knob on its western side which has inspired a variety of folklaw.
Stones such as these are generally ascribed a prehistoric, of a Bronze Age date and a ritual or ceremonial role, however, a more recent date and a more mundane function are also possible.
There are several small scale quarries in the vicinity of the stone.
