Banc Wernwgan Boundary Stone
Banc Wernwgan Boundary Stone submitted by john_d : View of the head of the stone (Vote or comment on this photo)
Marker Stone in Carmarthenshire. Coflein lists this as Standing Stone (Possible). It is described on the OS Map as a boundary stone. Now fallen, it is aligned E-W and measures 2m in length, 0.4m square in section at the base, tapering slightly towards the top.

(Ref: Site 84923)

Note that it's not marked at all on modern 1:25000 OS maps but is marked as "Stone" on an older map that I have that's dated 1976.
