Visited 2nd August 2003: After Trefwri (East) we doubled back to it’s bulky and broad neighbor, Trefwri (West). It’s not entirely clear whether this stone originally stood upright, or whether it’s always been longer than it is tall. In places it’s shot with brilliant quartz, but from a distance the stone looks a dumpy and dowdy. Like it’s partner, the location of the stone near the river (Afon Braint) is interesting.
