I approached from the north from the village of YFfor itself as a footpath goes more or less right past it . I think the stone is almost recumbent , but somehow it seems to be placed like that because it aligns perfectly on Mynnyd Carngwch the breast shaped mini mountain with its summit cairn. Half way between the sacred hill and the sea I quite liked this stone. postman Posted by postman

From Y Ffor Burial Chamber, just cut through the farm and you will see it ahead in the distance. Posted by rdavymed
