Carreg y Big (The Big Stone), Selattyn

Carreg y Big near the village of Selattyn and not far from Offa's Dyke is an example of a hoarstone, or boundary stone. At 2m tall, Carreg-y-Big is probably Shropshire’s tallest standing stone. The size of the stone can look deceptively small in photos, so here's a humorous rambler to help compare size SJ2532 : Carreg y Big (The Big Stone), Selattyn
