This stone may or may not be easy to find in the field, I saw a broken looking stone in about the right place but at the time I was passing I wasn't sure quite where to look as it is not clearly marked on my maps, and there was nothing at all obvious standing in the field.
It is included on Coflein (this is a link) as of unknown origin, but I couldn't see anything where that places it.
I have to say that I wasn't spending long, nor any energy in looking for this stone, as I had been out all day walking round pretty much the entire Brecon Beacons ridge, and had just come down from the highground after 6 or 7 hours and many miles of walking, with a couple more still to do before getting back to the car, and was absolutely knackered.
