Got here after Trefignath just down the road, and this is a delight. As we got out of the car there were the first drops of rain from an all-day threatened storm. The same storm engulfed us whole as we left & drove down the A55.
There’s an unmowed circle around the stone with some iron posts to guide the mower. Further out are some short stakes, painted red and with numbers on. These follow a partial circle around the stone. Didn’t see whether they extend all the way round. Has there been a survey done? There’s now some blue mesh plastic half buried in the ground around the stone. Maybe to help reduce erosion.
The long grass puts the stone in a better setting especially when viewed with the Alu plant behind you.
Notice the blue plastic mesh partially buried. To keep the erosion down?
All signs of previous fencing now gone, but there appear to be survey (?) posts in a partial circle around the stone. These arent the posts you see which appear to be a guide for the mower to leave the centre unmowed.
