Cefn Cnwcheithinog
Cefn Cnwcheithinog submitted by Penbron : On the upland path to Brynambor farm (Vote or comment on this photo)
An earthfast prehistoric standing stone, probably dating to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 - 800 BC). It is located on the top of an undulating ridge in an area of upland rough pasture. The standing stone is roughly square in cross-section and its sides taper to a blunt point.

It is aligned NE-SW. It measures 1.6m in height. The base measures c. 0.5m in width and 0.47m in depth. Packing stones are visible at the base of the stone.

I recently tried to visit this site which is adjacent to a right of way. Two "gentlemen" who claimed to be the landowners were strident in preventing access. Be aware !
