Standing Stone (Menhir) in Powys
A standing stone between 2-3 feet high located on the northern flank of Camlo Hill. It is a bit difficult to find, but it is near a forestry trackway at the southern end of the Creigiau Forest. The village of Abbey Cwmhir is about 1 mile to the north-east.
It is actually a boulder that is pointed at the top, but a bit ordinary really, and thought to be of Bronze Age date. A few hundred yards west of the stone there is a prehistoric cairn - though not much to see their today. The stone is mentioned by R.A.C.M No 8.
