The Longstone (Pembrokeshire) submitted by TheDuke : A very ' interesting' stone but not in a great location, hemmed in on 4 sides by tall hedges. Still an easy visit for the stone enthusiast! (Vote or comment on this photo)

The Longstone (Pembrokeshire)
The Longstone (Pembrokeshire) submitted by TheDuke : 'The Longstone' is certainly an intriguing menhir both in appearance and feeling. This unusual faceted, quartz type stone doesn't sit easily in the landscape, almost like it was dropped from space! This together with it's totally un- weathered shiney appearance makes you really wonder about the age of this stone.
