nddavies visited on 28th Apr 2011 - their rating: Cond: 4 Access: 5 The stone is also visible at a little distance from a gate at SN 6258 2160 which is in the same field as a public footpath.
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."
