A tall, elegant, slender stone of unusually regular shape. Height 10-11 feet.

It is believed that this is a ancient standing stone that was later used by the Romans. It carries a Latin inscription down one edge. It is highlighted on this photo.

It stands alongside the Roman road of Sarn Helen, a route used by the Romans to travel from South to North Wales. The stone was moved, a few yards from its original position, in 1940 by the Ministry of Works.
