BR312 - Maen Llwyd standing stone - SO 2260 2762
A fine standing stone, situated within open moorland on the leading edge of a terrace on the upper slopes of a prominent S-facing ridge of Gadair Fawr. The standing stone measures 2.15m in height, 0.95m in thickness from ENE to WSW by 0.35m in width. Several packing stones are visible around its base. A spectacular location, marred by the forestry plantation to the S.
