Situated along an ancient trackway that had probably also served the Romans, as well as becoming a coach road until its disuse in the early 1800 's, lie a selection of 'stones.' One in particular stands out as it remains upright demanding the attention of those who venture through this area of the Denbighshire Moor. The OS ref provided identifies this particular stone. However, there are many others that may or may not have 'the pedigree' of this stone. I have used the term selection of stones mainly due to the fact that this area has attracted quarrying and land clearances and .. well other contaminates that dilute the potency/credibility of some features.
One stone, about 300m north along the coach road that is now a challenging track, even the sheep avoid it, looks like it is associated with the quarrying industry. Anyway, I've posted some pics that I hope show how significant this environment would have been to our ancestors.
