Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Conwy

Situated to the west of Nant y Foel stream and close to a field boundary wall this stone provides an interesting feature as walkers pass by along the Hiraethog Trail. The trail leads northwards from Pentrefoelas village towards Llyn Alwen.

From the footpath the stone appears to be cubic in shape with seams of quartz running through it. It's dimensions are 1.40m N to S by 1.20m E to W, and 0.80M in height. It lies close to the stream that forms a natural boundary in the field.

An interesting looking stone with purpose, if any, unknown.
