thurgojim visited on 29th May 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Visited on family holiday while we were staying in a house a few hundred meters away. Weather was good all week and we avoided the jubilee celebrations. Got the feeling that lining the stone up with the peak on Dinas Head would indicate that when the sun sets in alignment, that would be a good time to plant crops. Went back a few days later to do a 3d scan (https://poly.cam/capture/404AA8FB-50D0-4790-8AAA-5B64A32649EC).

Access is through a gate opposite the entrance to Hendre Farm, keep to the right alongside a stream then through a gateway to another field. The stone can be clearly seen with Dinas Head in the background.
