| I found this by driving across Gelligaer common towards Deri and looking for the stone without a map, I looked along the horizon and felt the vibe and then saw the stone. I'll post some pics soon, Deri was Julian's home town as a very young drude was it not? |

| There are many websites that depict this ancient stone and it is known by more than one name. However, calling it the Gelligaer stone is a bit farfetched since the nearest place is Fochriw (approx 1 mile), Gelligaer being some 5 miles away. It is located on Mynydd Fochriw at the northern end of Gelligaer Common as are the Cairns which are a few hundred yards away and are identified as the Fochriw cairns. Can anyone provide a reason for this inconsistency. It is like saying that the Milenium Stadium is in Penarth. |
