Cadw's description
Location
On the N side of a minor road between Llanddowror and St Clears, and directly above a stream where it is culverted beneath the road, approximately 600 metres ENE of the village centre.
History
C19 parish boundary stone on the former boundary between Llandowror and Laugharne parishes, marked on the 1888 OS map.
Exterior
Boundary stone in the form of a dressed limestone slab with splayed front. Each of the 2 facets has a rounded top. On each face is an incised hand with finger pointing L and R respectively, and engraved ‘Landowror [sic] Parish’ on the L and ‘Laugharne Parish’ on the R.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-lettered boundary stone, one of several similar surviving boundary stones in west Carmarthenshire and eastern Pembrokeshire, and as one of a pair of stones marking the boundary of Llanddowror parish.
