At the rear of the chapel in a field is the menhir of quartz which is approximately 1.95 metres high. It has a strange lump on one of the faces and it is approximately 1metre wide by 0.75 metre in depth.
You can visit St Gildas Well at the same time, as you park your car for the holy well and follow the footpath to the chapel.
