The fifth stone of the Moel Goedog complex of standing stones if travelling towards Moel Goedog from the southwest.

The fifth stone, now I have figured out that the road is not the main old trackway, is a short blocky affair, in the open land to the south of the road almost right at the split of the trackway. Is it possible there is another stone a bit further away?

From Coflein
Standing stone 0.9m high by 0.6m by 0.5m at the base. It is situated between two tracks, near the junction. the five stones (SAM ME057d) scheduled along the supposed route of the Fonlief Hir ancient Trackway (SAM ME058).

Update November 2019: The Stone Rows of Great Britain discusses the possibility of the nine standing stones at Moel Goedog making up a single stone row measuring 1,898 metres long, standing on a prominent ridge overlooking the sea. Their entry for Fonllech includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2018, photographs of all the stones in the alignment, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB also includes a section discussing the interpretation of this monument. This is the SRoGB's stone 5 in the row.

For information about the other stones in this probably alignment, see the individual site pages for Moel Goedog 1 to Moel Goedog 9 inclusive, plus the Moel Goedog E ring cairn.
