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.
