Standing Stone (Menhir) in Carmarthenshire

2.5 meters high, fell over in 1963 and was excavated before being re-erected.
It's not an easy one to get to, the farm lane has private property signs on it, I approached with caution, in the car, but quiet like.
Parked in a passing place for two minutes ran into the field said hi, took photos and laid hands on the stone, ran off back to the car and away, to a more welcoming site.
