About a mile north up the lane from Llangenny is what is marked on the OS 1:50000 map as "Standing Stone", but on my 1:25000 map as two "Standing Stones" inside a little wooded area just to the west of the lane. There was just about room to park, so I got out to investigate. This is all on a very steep hillside, and the wood was very thick and overgrown with ferns and brambles, and the wall and fence beside the road prevented any entry. Try as I might, peering through the undergrowth proved a pointless task, and I saw no standing stones here.
