The Harold's Stones

The Harold's Stones; Gwent; Wales
Three stones of conglomerate sandstone stand in a line 39 ft (12 m) long in a field beside the village of Trellech (also spelled Trelleck or Trelech, meaning "village of stones").

They all lean at various angles, although we may assume that they were originally upright. The row is aligned in a NE-SW direction. The tallest stone, at the South-west, is 11 ft (3.3 m) tall.


The central stone has been shaped by hand and it has two large circular hollows (known as cup-marks) on its South-western face.
