Standing Stone (Menhir) in Gwynedd

Really close to the A494 that goes from Bala to Dollgelau, on its south side just north of Rhydymain. Hidden from view by a disused railway embankment.

Permission should be sought at Dolddeuli farm for the stone is on their land, just. The fence around the fields edge diverts around the stone to keep the stone on farm land. About four to five feet tall, smooth and shapely, a very nice stone if in rather restrictive circumstances.
