Cwm Stone
Cwm Stone submitted by TimPrevett : The more northerly of the two easily visible stones. The 1:25000 map records 3 standing stones here, yet Coflein records just one. A visit in person (a fleeting view from the roadside) yields one stone standing around knee height, and another fallen stone to its SW. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Cwm Stone submitted by postman : The Cwm stone, it's only waist high to a six year old but I feel it was born to be a menhir
