Description Newbridge-on-Wye: Pen y bont Standing Stone.

Stopped at this today, 12 April 2007, and it seems to have settled slightly since Shropshire Traveller's picture in 2005. It is difficult to be absolutely sure, but the angle of the holes on this face certainly seem slightly more acute, and the surrounding ground is definitely showing the signs of livestock using it for shelter.

RCAHMW reports it as having been found in a hedge in about 1910, so perhaps it was moved to its current location in the field - so may not have very deep footings?
