Surprisingly difficult to find at first, despite being just off an alleged right-of-way. Once found, though, it’s hard to imagine how I could have missed it. With the evening sun catching its western face, the stone is visible from every ridge and hilltop around.

The marked path has long since been ploughed up and fenced off, and a plantation of conifers has been established nearby since the area was last mapped. Worth the effort, though, as the position is spectacular. It lies midway between the Norman motte of Castell Crugerydd, just off the A44, and the remains of an early Iron Age settlement at Graig Fawr.
