Description

1. On the west-facing side of a local rise, to the north of a road running across the north-facing slope of Mynydd Eglwysilan, lies an upright stone. A slab of local sandstone, it measures 0.75m high, 1m wide (NE-SW) and 0.4m thick at base. The stone has every appearance of having been artificially raised, and earthfast stones on the downhill side suggest a formerly larger monolith.
The site lies at about 290m OD on open land.
