The Peterstone is a standing stone located in Breconshire, Wales, dating to the prehistoric period. The monument survives as an upright stone and represents the category of ritual or funerary monuments common to Bronze Age and earlier communities in Wales. As with many such standing stones, its precise original function—whether primarily funerary, territorial, ceremonial, or commemorative—remains uncertain, though its prominent positioning suggests significance within the prehistoric landscape. The stone is statutorily protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Welsh heritage designation system.
