Not sure if this stone matched Sweetcheat’s one? This one we have always known as the Carn Llwyd standing stone...it’s bulky, pointed and surrounded by obvious well preserved kerbing.

The little stone enjoys a wonderful view of Newport Bay.

Not the most impressive standing stone in the world, but in a great location surrounded by lots of other prehistoric remains. Settlement site indicated, and Carn Ffoi hillfort is on the skyline (right).

Carn Llwyd (Carningli) standing stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

Rhiannon Jan 15, 2025

Should you be here, not half a mile down the hill from this stone (at SN064383) there is said to be a special well:

A rocky outcrop nearby is called Carn Cwn (Cairn of Dogs). Beneath an overhanging rock is a wishing well. The water is said to rise and fall with the tide and people used to throw pins into it to cure their warts.

Mentioned by Chris Barber in ‘Mysterious Wales’ (1982).
