Graig Fawr (Dyserth)
Graig Fawr (Dyserth) submitted by TheCaptain : I went up to the fabulous viewpoint at the top of Graig Fawr without knowing the existance of the fallen menhir, and as such never looked for it. I must have walked within about 50 yards of where its shown. This is the view out along the north Wales coast to Snowdonia. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Fallen standing stone, split in two.

Possibly felled and split during tank practice in WW2.
