Bedd Morris - Newport, Pembroke
Bedd-Morris Standing Stone. A standing stone, measuring 2m high, is a well-known landmark on the
mountain road between Newport and the Gwaun Valley. It probably dates
from 2000-1500 BC and appears to have been erected as a marker-stone,
indicating the junction of two ancient trackways across the Preseli
Hills.
The name comes from a local tradition that the stone marks the
grave (bedd) of a robber named Morris who preyed on travellers
crossing the hills.
