Y Garreg Fawr Arch, Llanfachreth This arch marked the entrance to the Nannau Estate from the Llanfachreth side. The 18-ton lintel was transported over ten miles from near The Roman Steps, by four of Sir Robert Vaughan’s tenants who were late with their rent payments. The slab of stone rests on two dry stone pillars either side of the road and no concrete was  used in its construction.

Stone entrance way near Llanfacreth I assume that this gateway demarcates some country estate, possibly Nannau. Interesting. You don't see many such things. I am surprised that it has survived given the size of some farm traffic.
