Gate Standing Stone
Gate Standing Stone submitted by Postman : A stone a standing, strange protuberance on it's left side. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro). In a field by a minor road off the B4313 just north of Maenclochog this rectangular-faced 9'9" high standing stone has a chisel-shaped top.

Apparent damage to the southern side of the stone has created a wing-shaped protuberance.The more whimsical stone-watcher may fancy an overall resemblance to an owl.

Gate Standing Stone submitted by Kammer : This beautiful standing stone is thought to be the possible survivor of a stone row know as Maen-y-Parc or alternatively the Gate Standing Stones (after the farm to the south). Maen-y-Parc 'A' stands in a field just inside the National park (SN11133032). Two more fallen stones that may be from the same row are visible in a nearby hedgebank (SN11173022 and SN11173020).
