Tegernacus Stone
In this field there once stood a roughly cut massive slab of stone.
On its surface was a Latin inscription. Translated this read ‘Tegernacus, son
of Martius lies here’. It has been suggested that the Stone dates to the
early seventh century A.D., however it may be much older. In 1922 the Stone was
removed to the national Museum of Wales and its location marked by the inscribed
concrete pillar you see today.
