Llangybi Bottom Stone

Standing Stone in Monmouthshire. This stone, known locally as St Cilby's Stone, is situated in a large level field East of the village of Llangibby.

The reddish stone, although broken up, was, I felt, well worth the walk .

Note: Just in case you think we have everywhere covered, there are still thousands of ancient sites we don't yet have photos of. This beautifully coloured stone was one of them - until today.

Llangybi Bottom Stone
Llangybi Bottom Stone submitted by CJbear369 : To get access is through a private road and field. The stone sits at the the far end of the field and is bigger than the photos do justice. It ‘points’ 343 degrees to the north. Nothing of interest in that direction except cairns at Llanthony priory. Great to see in person though. (Vote or comment on this photo)
