Description: Bedd Morris standing stone This ancient maenhir has had an eventful history since its Bronze Age origin: incorporated in the boundary of the parish (and borough) of Newport, it also formed a route node for the medieval Newport-Haverfordwest highway, or Ffordd Bedd Morris, which still crosses Mynydd Carningli. Its name is said to derive from the bandit Morus who once lived among the rocks and robbed travellers. It is etched with a surveying benchmark and other inscriptions. Buzzards and ravens use it as a perch and lookout post and it acts as a useful waymark or starting point for walkers.
