One of Pembrokeshire's most impressive megalithic tombs, Carreg Samson/Samson's stone stands between Longhouse Farm (named for the monument) and the sea, with the outline of Strumble Head visible beyond and the peaks of Garn Fawr, Garn Gilfach and Garn Wnda to the east and northeast. All three show evidence of Neolithic occupation so the siting is significant. The burial chamber was once known as the grave of Samson's finger according to a legend that the C6 St Samson lifted the capstone into place with his little finger.
