Mynydd Myddfai Stones
Mynydd Myddfai Stones submitted by sem : This stone is impressive at over 2m tall. The smaller stone forms a roughly SW alignment with it. A GPS ref of SN80682839 is needed to find it as it is not visible from the track or other stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This pair of stones are to be found in the forest around Usk Reservoir.

Originally they were intervisible, but the clearing they stand in is becoming overgrown and neither is now visible from either the other or the track.

The second stone has a smaller one sitting next to it forming a roughly SW alignment.

Mynydd Myddfai Stones submitted by sem : This is the stone standing nearest the track. However it cannot be seen from there so a GPS or a good deal of luck is required to find it.
