Capel Nebo Stone
Capel Nebo Stone submitted by TheDuke : The 'Capel Nebo' stone, standing alone in the centre of a field next to, surprise surprise, the Nebo Chapel in Rhos Maen Hir. A thick four sided stone of approx. 6 ft in height although apparently it is recorded as 2.4m, some must be buried! Possible cup mark on the top face but this could easily be weathering.

Capel Nebo Stone
Capel Nebo Stone submitted by pab : As PaulM says, this stone does not lend itself to viewing! I aim to try and get even closer when the hedgerows are not quite so dense. Little information available from the RCAHMW site (their ref NPRN304277), except its estimated height as being 2.4m, and its more precise location as SN13852540. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The best vantage point is from the road that runs to the south of the stone.
