HAROLD'S STONES, TRELLECH
| OS
Map OS ref Three standing stones, all tilting at varying angles and of differing heights. The stone is a coarse pudding stone. The largest stone (at the far end in this shot) is about 13 foot high, the others taper down to about 11 foot and 7 foot. It is unknown whether they were once part of an alignment or even a large circle. The village in which they now stand gained its name from the stones and unbelievably was, at one time, a city!

| The
centre stone has two large but indistinct cup marks. In this
photograph they have been artificially darkened to highlight them.
The stones are also depicted on a sundial within the church. |
