Modern Stone Circle etc in Conwy
Situated within the garden of a private residence on the outskirts of Rhylydan village the stone was placed in its current position in 2011. It was removed from its previous location, i.e. the garden of the property owner's previous address at Glasfryn a few miles away. From discussions with the home owner it is believed that the stone was originally removed from a local field (date unknown) to add a little ancient mystery to the property at Glasfryn. The stone's original purpose within the field is unknown but it is suspected that it may have acted as a gate post at some stage. There is a drill hole at a height that would have accommodated a metal hinge hook.
The stone itself is weathered and very convincing as a possible maenhir. It stands at 1.68m high, 0.80m wide and 0.25m deep.
A wonderfully intriguing alternative to a garden gnome 😊
