Maen Tarw
Maen Tarw submitted by Johnny : Maen Tarw Standing Stone (SN 722 833) Maen Tarw standing stone is close to the Buwch a'r Llo stone pair (cf) but just within the forestry block, again adjacent to the road. It is a small block of unusual appearance, probably due to severe weathering over the years! Whatever function it originally served is no longer known but it may have, in some way, been linked to the Buwch a'r Llo pair. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Maen Tarw submitted by SandyG : The western stone. The eastern stones are hidden behind the rising ground. Other stones would have been removed by the road. View from west.

Maen Tarw submitted by TimPrevett : View from this angle, it almost looks like a peg being forced between two other rocks. (1 comment)
