Cae y Garreg Lwyd

Natural Rock Feature

Rhiannon Nov 7, 2012

A field on the farm of Maes Teran, and bordering on Ffridd Wyllt. Here is a small grey stone or boulder, 3 feet above ground and 12 feet in girth, which, it is said locally, “was pitched there by the strong man from Cader Idris.” – Visited 7th June, 1910.

From An inventory of the ancient and historical monuments of the county of Montgomery (1911).
