This stone is not mentioned in any archaeologiacal texts. I noticed it for the first time today. It has been set with the bedding planes vertical and the erosion between these sights on a further three stones on the far side of Llyn y Fan Fawr (the shot looks roughly ENE).
Can someone please convince me that this is a natural bit of rock because everything I have seen around here makes me think differently.
