Fuallt Standing Stone is a prehistoric standing stone located in Wales and protected by Cadw under reference RD193. The monument stands on bedrock of Wenlock age, where sandstone and conglomerate layers are interbedded beneath the surface. These durable sedimentary rocks, formed in the Wenlock epoch, have provided a stable foundation for the stone throughout its long history.
The standing stone dates to the prehistoric period, when similar monuments were erected across the Welsh landscape, often serving ceremonial, territorial or commemorative purposes. The specific geology of this location—the Wenlock Rocks (Undifferentiated)—would have influenced the choice of stone and the techniques required to raise and position it.
As a protected monument under Cadw's stewardship, Fuallt Standing Stone remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric activity in Wales. Its survival to the present day, rooted in the ancient Wenlock bedrock, testifies to both the durability of the monument's construction and the geological stability of its setting over millennia.
