Description

The monument comprises the remains of a standing stone 2.7 m high by 1.5 m by 0.9 m, which probably dates to the Bronze Age (c.2300 - 800 BC). The ground surface has been worn away around the base of the stone revealing a number of packing stones. The stone itself is cracking badly, and pieces could well have fallen off it in the past.

The monument is intervisible with AN067 Carreg Leidr to the north but a low ridge blocks views eastward to AN069 Maen Addwyn.

The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of Bronze Age burial and ritual practices. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits.
