NGR: SN09953702 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located 4km east of Newport on a public footpath. One of the most spectacular and famous monuments of its type it consists of a tilted capstone perched on three uprights. A blocking stone obstructs the doorway and a semi-circular forecourt is found at the southern end. Originally covered by a huge long mound - traces of possible kerbstones can still be fou...

Maen Llia submitted by cerrig on 24th Mar 2020. There are upwards of 7 stones in this row which is roughly aligned on the Northern face of Maen Llia.
Why it has been called Rhyd Uchaf by Coflein is a bit of a mystery?

The Hindwell Stone
Trip No.22 Entry No.5 Date Added: 26th Jun 2022
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
The Hindwell Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Possible standing stone in a field in the Walton Basin. Given the context of the area, and that it's a matter of metres outside of the northern line of the Hindwell Pallisaded Enclosure, it seems a credible assumption to think it of significance and a part of the amazing ancient landscape now largely lost. Look to the NW for The Whimble hill and to the E for Burfa Bank which are of similar shape to the stone in their outline.

Kinnerton

Kinnerton submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Sep 2005. The stone in its place in the field; noticed the curved top to the stone, and then follow up to the horizon, and notice the curved hillock above it. Coincidence? Other stones in other places appear to mimmick hill shapes behind them... perhaps this lends more credence to it being a standing stone rather than a scratching post. Perhaps.

Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone)
Trip No.24 Entry No.2 Date Added: 2nd Sep 2022
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Sep 2022. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone) submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2006. The large re-used Bronze Age standing stone next to the road in the village. Once it was one of several stones here; now it's the only standing stone in the village.
If the archaeological database is interpreted correctly, the schoolhouse behind had a mound where the stone was formerly situated - before the school house was constructed.
Parking around the bend as seen, ideal for visiting the village.
