Wonderfully proportioned erratic above the Sgwd Gwladus falls located in the 'Waterfall country' between Ystradfellte and Pontneddfechan.
As can be seen by the comparison with the 'marker' in the accompanying picture, the erratic is approximately 2 metres cubed.
It is next to the Afon (River) Pyrddin which forms the boundary between the counties of Powys and Neath Port Talbot (formerly West Glamorgan) at this point.
