Not an easy one to get to, either approach from the north east or south west, I'd suggest the former as the footpath has been done away with at the latter, or I'm going blind.
The stone is a big chunky six footer, from the stone the barrow topped Van is most conspicuous on the skyline.
Hopefully you will find a better place to park than me, as the Cwm Maerdy farm owner thought my car looked suspicious and phoned it in to the police who then kindly came knocking on my door at 1am. Bonkers!!!
