Standing Stone in Monmouthshire

Get on the B4245 to Magor,where the road goes under the M4, on the way to Magor, there is a field gate on the right. Find somewhere to park and enter the field and follow along the motorway embankment to the stone. It is a thin triangular stone - glad it survived the road building. You can actually see it just after you have payed your toll if you keep to the left.

Llanfihangel Rogiet submitted by Horatio : For me a uninspiring standing stone, not the usual vibes but its location isn't great, sandwiched between the M4 and the B4245, on the edge of an embankment with very soon to be overgrowth hiding it somewhat. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Llanfihangel Rogiet submitted by Silurian : This pic shows The Menhir looking from the 'front' of it, which we think it's more aligned towards 'gray hill' - Mynydd Llwyd - this way - but because of the motorway bank obscuring the view we can't be sure, but for those who may know it's 'pointing' 305 degrees North West in this pic - It's literally alongside the M4 West but can be accessed from the A48 between Rogiet and Magor just befo...

Llanfihangel Rogiet submitted by Silurian : This pic shows The menhir looking as it aligns 'sidewards' towards the West. It actually 'points' 423 degrees south west on its side axis (looking this way) and 52 NE looking the other way - but we think it's aligned towards 'gray hill' - Mynydd Llwyd - which would mean looking at it from 'front' on - but because of the motorway bank obscuring the view we can't be sure, but for those who may know...

I was just wondering if the researchers of these stones and alignments were aware of the Langstone? Its situated in a feild between underwood and langstone, not far from magor.

This stone is going to be relocated soon to make way for the new M4 relief road. Not many people voiced any concern over this. Details of where it will be relocated to are yet to arise.

    Update: Fortunately the M4 relief road was cancelled, so the location is still as described above. Thanks to Gareth Case for the info.

After a series of trips over the Second Severn Crossing, here are definitive instructions on how to see this standing stone from the M4!

As you approach the toll booths, you need to go to a booth on the far left hand side. Your aim is to leave the booths and get into the left hand "crawler lane". Stay in the left lane as the road climbs a hill. As the road begins to turn to the left, you will see a sign for Motorway Services, ass you pass the sign, look down to the left, following the line of the embankment. The standing stone just at the bottom of the embankment where it levels out.

You may also want to pay some attention to the road whilst you're doing all this!
