Standing Stone NNW of Clomendy is a prehistoric standing stone located in Wales and protected by Cadw under reference CM184. The monument rises from bedrock composed of Pridoli rocks—undifferentiated mudstone, siltstone and sandstone laid down during the Pridoli epoch. This geological foundation of mixed sedimentary strata is typical of the terrain across much of Wales and would have been a familiar landscape to the prehistoric communities who erected the stone.
Standing stones of this type were commonly raised during the Bronze Age, though some may date to the Neolithic period. They served various functions within their communities, from territorial markers to ritual or ceremonial focal points within the landscape. The precise original purpose of this particular stone remains unknown, but its survival and preservation testify to its significance within the local prehistoric settlement pattern.
The monument's location on the Pridoli bedrock places it within a landscape shaped by ancient geology. Its continued existence, now under statutory protection, ensures that future generations can study and appreciate this physical link to Wales's prehistoric heritage and the communities who shaped the landscape over five thousand years ago.
