Looking approx east toward The Black Mountains... Pen y Gadair Fawr - apparently the summit peak, although reality can be deceptive - is centre left skyline, crowned by a monument of it own.

This is an interesting site - did you find it on the ground first, or CPAT first? Very easy to dismiss as natural outcrop from a (close) distance I imagine. Great view towards the higher ridges.	Posted by thesweetcheat 16th March 2017ce
This one is actually on the 1:25k. That's the only way I found it. There's very little outcropping rock around so the fact that the slab is within a little kerbed cairn more-or-less puts its stature as a capstone beyond doubt, I'd say?	Posted by GLADMAN 16th March 2017ce
Yep, looks that way. I wonder why I never came here when I crossed Mynydd Llangorse in 2010 or whenever it was? There's supposedly a standing stone somewhere there too.	Posted by thesweetcheat 16th March 2017ce
