This is a splendid standing stone -- one of the biggest in the area. It's in a field not far from the Gelli-fawr hotel, looking down into the Gwaun Valley. It's dolerite, clearly collected from a huge litter of dolerite boulders in this area, and less than 20m away there is another massive lump of dolerite, this time recumbent and with just a part of it sticking through the turf. I reckon the weight of this one must be about 6 tonnes......
