Ah I've been learning a bit of Welsh lately so I know enough to tell you it means 'Grey Stone'.
Or maybe it's not quite that dull. The Welsh Lexicon says 'brown, fawn; grey (gray); pale; hoar, hoary, grizzly, grizzled' which adds up to something a bit more interesting.

Anyway you might find this really useful (though sometimes the beginnings of words have their letters 'mutated' which makes them a bit more complicated to find).

Keep up the good work, I love reading about all your hillfort visits and your trips to all these lesser-known stones
