This stone is behind a wall, immediately opposite a white bungalow on east side of A4080. We parked on a very wide verge further down the road. The inscription is on the north side, and can be made out on the photo if not actually legible. The CADW guide to Gwynedd gives the inscription as CUNOGUSI HIC IACIT, meaning (The Stone) of Cunogussus. He lies here. It may have been a prehistoric monument, but is thought to be a 6th Cenutry AD monument, dated on the style and wording used.
