Standing Stone (Menhir) in Wales. The earliest church was probably pre-Norman and there is evidence that suggests the site may well have been a pre-Christian centre; A circle of yews, one of which has a roughly shaped stone embedded in its trunk, and the 'camp' crowned by a single tree to the west of the church.
