Situated on the northern side of the B4407 narrow road that leads to Ysbyty Ifan through the Migneint Moor, this is a relatively modern slab of slate that indicates the distances to local towns and villages. It stands at 0.75m and is 0.50m wide by 0.08m thick, and leans to the east giving it a quirky appearance
It is inscribed with Ffestiniog 7, Ysbyty Ifan 4 1/2, Pentrefoelas 7 1/2 and Betws y Coed 12.
A nice little (more modern) reminder of the purpose for some of our prehistoric menhirs.
