Just to the west of St Eilian's Well (Fynnon Eilian), this rock just does not look right!
It is difficult to work out what the natural forces were which left this stone in this position as its lines and contours do not match those of the rocks on which it is perched.
It is unlikely that there were human forces helping, so that presumably makes it a Natural Erratic?
Or does it have to be a totally different geological type from its neighbours to merit the term? Close ups available if needed....
