Harold stone is next to a hedge two fields from the road, about seven feet tall and maybe four feet wide
but less than a foot thick, and by the looks of the ground possibly set in a cairn, unless its just field clearance.
The cows mooood loudly as we approached but lost interest as we went behind the hedge, this is probably the site of my phone loss, damn pixies aaaagh !

Visited 17th April 2003: Actually it's an over statement to describe this as a visit. The Harold Stone is on private land, so I'm guessing access is a potential problem. We were pressed for time because the sun was setting fast, and I had in mind a visit to the Devil's Quoit. I decided to cut my losses and stop short of trying to get close to the stone. I settled for this photo taken from the road. Kammer Posted by Kammer

Not to be confused with the stone 21km to the north, near the village of Broadhaven, also called the Harold Stone. Kammer Posted by Kammer
