Carreg Maen Taro is a very handsome stone. It stands about 1 meter tall, with some smaller boulders at it's base. It also marks where several local communities meet: LLanelli;Llanfoist and Blaenavon; and the Brecon Beacons national park boundary also runs through here.
Carved on it's sides are two letters. On the Eastern side is an M, for Monmouthshire. On the Western side is a B, for Breconshire. The stone is now in Monmouthshire, but maybe at one time this was a county boundary too.
It also has some association with a battle that was reputed to have been fought in this area, a story shared by some local cairns (now lost to the spoil tips)
All in all quite an interesting stone, in a place with lot's of history.
