Standing Stone West of Lon Fel
Standing Stone West of Lon Fel submitted by TAlanJones : View to the west. The next field is the site of the possible cist burial discovered by archaeologists in June 2022. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Situated South of the A497 this is one of two stones within 250m of each other, the second being the Bron Eifion Standing Stone to the NW.

The stone lies at the end of a field and close to a small wood. A small building housing a mast stands a few metres to the SW and the railway track passes a few metres further on.

The stone is visible from the road and the site can be reached via a gate but this is private land and permission should be sought to enter the field. The proportions of the stone are similar to that of the Bron Eifion stone. It stands at 1.2m with a width of 1m and a depth of 0.65m.

Interestingly, a possible cist burial has been discovered in the next field to the west.
