Arthur's Stone

A giant capstone said to be a pebble from King Arthur's shoe.

Arthur's Stone, or Maen Ceti, is a Neolithic burial chamber with a capstone weighing around 25 tonnes. Legend says King Arthur felt a pebble in his shoe while walking in Carmarthenshire, and flung it all the way to Gower, where it grew huge.
