| Hi Wideford, Only just seen this thread. I would add that it is comparable with other Black Mountains/Brecon Beacons standing stones in its flat slabbiness (that really is a word). Sandstone often makes for quite smooth-sided stones anyway (that might appear worked). It's also right next to a stream which would be the usual positioning for most of the standing stones in the area. Examples of local slabby standing stones at Carreg Waun Llech ("Llech" means slab): http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]e/11789/carreg_waun_llech.html Nant Bwch: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9574/nant_bwch.html Maen Llwyd: http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]e/9575/maen_llwyd_twyn_du.html Tretower: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/105/tretower_stone.html Standard Street: http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]ite/13563/standard_street.html Neuadd Glan-gwy: http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]/site/9573/neuadd_glangwy.html Example of local smooth-sided sandstone menhirs: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/4182/king_stone.html http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9571/maen_hir.html http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/4248/battle.html And some other stream/riverside standing stones in the area: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/348/fish_stone.html http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/102/growing_stone.html http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3037/llangenny.html Plus obviously the Daddy of all Brecons slabby waterside stones (a bit further away): http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/104/maen_llia.html All in all, I reckon the Pentre House stone fits nicely with the general type and location of the other stones in the area.
