Update October 2019: This standing stone is recorded as Coflein NPRN 304335 (Parc Cerrig Hirion Stone Pair, Dinas), which tells us: "Parc Cerrig Hirion is a monolith 2.1m high. A second stone, perhaps a natural boulder, was illustrated in 1875 and removed about twenty years before 1966. A possible stone pair, this stone is not the Lady Stone".
Note: The stone is visible from the road (to the north).
