Standing Stone in Powys
This imposing inscribed stone, almost 2.7 metres in height, stands high on the moors alongside the Roman road, Sarn Helen. The Latin inscription, "DERVACUS FILIUS JUSTI IC JACIT", now difficult to read, translates as "stone of Dervacus, son of Justus. He lies here". Despite its adoption as a Roman memorial stone, it is possible that Maen Madoc had a much more ancient origin and may have been erected in Bronze Age times.

This is the inscription as described by Johnny on his post. Not easy to read. Maybe with different shadows it could be read.

Maen Madoc. It is possible that before the planting of the conifer forest this stone was intervisible with Maen Llia, about one and a half miles away. If so this is evidence that it predates Roman times.
