Waun Leuci






                                                                        Waun Leuci (SN854215)


Bronze age stone is a half mile north from Maen Mawr  ,  half mile drive north towards Trecastle . Stone is visible from the car park across the road  500 metres up the slopes . No one is quite sure of what the purpose of this 2.5 metre stone was . One theory is the stone is aligned with Maen Mawr , one would need to carry a step ladder to prove this ..

Waun Leuci





Stony mound on Waun Leuci has all the characteristics of a Cairn to my untrained eye. (SN854215)
