Standing Stone (Menhir) in Powys

Starting at Clogau standing stone head west on the footpath between Llyns Du and Mawr. Just head for the trig pointed rocky ridge, you can't miss them really. Though I've added this site as a standing stone its actually two cairns, but the main point of interest is the stone in the centre of a small kerb cairn , this cairn is almost invisible. Further on through a gate is the more substantial other more stony cairn. Brilliant views over the lakes to far away.
