Penmyarth Standing Stone (The Fish Stone) submitted by Johnny

Standing Stone in Powys

Marked on maps as standing stone but within the private land of the Glanusk estate. This stunning stone is comparable in height with the nearby Llwyn-y-Fedwen stone (4.27m, cf). In shape it is said to resemble an upright fish, hence an alternative name for this site of the "Fish Stone".

Note: This site is on private land - permission must be sought from the estate to visit.

    I have had the privilage of meeting the "Fish Stone". It is set in a peaceful meadow close to a river. A wonderful, tranquil place, well worth writing for permission to visit.
