Ty'r-Coed
Ty'r-Coed submitted by Bladup : Ty'r-Coed Standing Stone. Another phallus like the very nearby Samson's Jack, there was certainly a fertility cult around these parts. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A 2.5 metre tall menhir hiding round the back of a farm building on private land. When I was here I couldn't find anywhere to park so didn't even try to get a look.

Ty'r-Coed
Ty'r-Coed submitted by TheCaptain : View northwest from near the trigpoint on the top of Cefn-Bryn, overlooking the northwest coast of the Gower peninsula towards Burry Port on the far side of the River Loughor estuary. And down the bottom of the hill, hiding from the road behind the large barn, can be seen the Ty'r-Coed standing stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
