This stone is on private land being used as a car park at the rear of Ffairfach cattle market. I'm told by the man I asked permission from that the stone had no fence around it until relatively recently - which fits in with the 2005 CADW date.

The side of the stone facing the river is not completely flat but has a definite twisting concave scoop to it a little like a propeller blade.

Details from Coflein which in turn appear to be from CADW:
"Large block of stone, standing 1.6m in height and measuring 0.9m in thickness and 0.7m in width."
