Standing Stone above Tre-Taliesin

Whilst walking in the hills above a cottage we rented in Tre-Taliesin I came across a standing stone in the middle of a cairn. I can’t find any details for it on the web so I’m trying to find out if it is an ancient site. I can’t seem to add an image as I’m working from an iPad.

    Thanks Si, I'd say this is probably a modern walkers' cairn but they are sometimes built on ancient cairns - could someone look it up on Coflein...
