Parc-y-Gleision Standing stone is on a slight promontory on the lower north-facing slopes of Cefn Du.

The standing stone measures 1.8m in height, 1.2m in thickness from east to west by 0.8m in width. Several packing stones are visible around its base and laying next to the upright is nearly half the original stone [It would have been a big one], You can even see how it once fitted together, Lightning or frost the most likely reasons for the break.
