The third stone is a very small stump, probably broken off and now with a sharply pointed top in the open land beside the road to the south. It has a notch in the top which points towards the summit of Moel Goedog and the ring cairns.
From Coflein
Standing stone (SAM ME057e) about 0.8m high. It measures 0.34 by 0.3m at the base, but is wedge-shaped in profile. There is a raised stony area around the base of the stone, spreading out for some 2m on the W and E and 1m on the N and S. One of 5 stones scheduled along the supposed route of the Fonlief Hir ancient Trackway (SAM ME058).
Update November 2019: The Stone Rows of Great Britain discusses the possibility of the nine standing stones at Moel Goedog making up a single stone row measuring 1,898 metres long, standing on a prominent ridge overlooking the sea. Their entry for Fonllech includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2018, photographs of all the stones in the alignment, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB also includes a section discussing the interpretation of this monument. This is the SRoGB's stone 7 in the row.
For information about the other stones in this probably alignment, see the individual site pages for Moel Goedog 1 to Moel Goedog 9 inclusive, plus the Moel Goedog E ring cairn.
