Description
Y Garreg Fawr is a large stone of roughly rectangular shape, set horizontally on top of a stone pedestal made of tooled squared blue-grey stones. This structure is part of the enclosure behind the War Memorial, which was erected in 1924. The pedestal features an iron plaque that reads, "Y Garreg Fawr. This ancient structure belongs to the Powells of Nanteos as Lords of the Manor of Llanbadarn Fawr."
