Image of Ffynnon Druidion (Standing Stone / Menhir) by Kammer

Taken 18th April 2003: This stone is not Ffynnon Druidion, but a newly erected stone nearby. I’ve plastered the photo with arrows to illustrate some of the signs that its modern. The back of the stone was covered in compressed soil, suggesting that until very recently, it was recumbent. There’s no record of this stone in the NMRW.

The green arrow (at the top of the stone) indicates a large chip taken out it, relatively recently. The purple arrow (to the left of the stone) indicates a scrape that would correspond with the type of damage that a JCB claw might cause. The red arrow (bottom right) indicates bricks in amongst the packing stones.
