It is considered to possibly be part of a short stone row, with two little stones lined up on its north side.
Update November 2019: This short stone row, which runs for 5.8m and comprises three unevenly sized stones, is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Maen Mawr, which includes a description, a plan of the row showing its relationship to the nearby Cerrig Duon stone circle and stone alignments, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
This row is also recorded as Coflein NPRN 412997 (Maen Mawr, Standing Stone, Stone Alignment).
This alignment is part of the prehistoric landscape which includes the Cerrig Duon stone alignment and the Cerrig Duon Stone Circle, each of which has a separate site page here - see 'nearby sites' below.
