Originally thought to have been a prehistoric menhir (standing stone) but put to more recent use in the late 18th century as a carved milestone. It stood a few yards to the west until the nearby school was built, then moved to the roadside, and was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300081842-the-green-stone-llanrhaeadr-ym-mochnant#.XOw3NYhKjcs in 2003.
