Eirth dant
Eirth dant submitted by pjk7009 : Looking up stream toward the stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Carmarthenshire

A meter high stone sits by a stream in a gully. Forestry to one side, fields to the other. Access is unknown since the turbines went up. The stone is out of sight of anything and does not serve any practical purpose such as acting as part of a dam or fence post. It is just a seemingly random upright stone.
