Description
Summary Description and Reason for Designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Monument.
The monument comprises 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 inter-visible with another standing stone, AN067 Carreg Leidr to the north, but a low ridge blocks views eastward to a third stone, 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.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
