I don't know if I should submit this site as I'm pretty sure that it is modern (and not prehistoric). It is either a recently erected monument to a much loved Minister from a chapel in the valley below or a more ancient stone utilised for the purpose.It is a large stone, about 4' high and 3' thick. It is very prominent and affords impressive views across a wide area to the North and East. It is within site of the narrow road that crosses the mountain, Mynydd Uchaf. I include it as someone may ask about it? I have given it a name that reflects the nearest cairn and village, though it may have another local name.
