A cup-marked stone with an irregular arrangement of at least 35 cupmarks of varying size and depth. Dispersed within the cupmark arrangement are a number of faint incised lines, many cutting into or connecting with cupmarks. Size approx 1.5m by 1m, it is the southern of two cup-marked stones located on open upland heath west of the summit of Mynydd Eglwysilan.
To the north of Senghenydd Dyke and north-west of the mountain road that connects Nelson with Senghenydd.
The site was identified and recorded by Martin Hutchinson in March 2019. Another stone (PRN 05909s Ffôs-yr-Haidal 2) c. 150 m to the north northwest at ST1080292444 (see below), is considered likely to have a chronological association with nearby cairn cemeteries, including Carneddi Llwydion.

Note: A man who filmed himself damaging this cup marked stone near Pontypridd has been ordered to pay £4,400 compensation and given a four-month sentence, suspended for two years
