An inscribed standing stone in north Wales right next to the Grade II listed Pool Park house near Rhuthun (Ruthin). The stone has both Latin and Ogham present on the face and edges of the stone respectively. It was originally sited at Bedd Emlyn and was removed to Pool Park sometime in the early 19th century, possibly around 1810. This stone is a replica, was installed in 1936, and the original stone is in the National Museum of Wales. The stone was on loan in the musuem before being formally donated in 2001.
It was inspected by Edward Lhuyd in the 16th century - the Latin inscription mentions the word ‘*TOVISACI’ and it is from this word the Irish ‘taoiseach’ (= chieftain, president) and the Welsh ‘tywysog’ (= prince, leader) derive.
A lovely place. The stone is on the left when approaching the old house.
Hyfryd o le. Mae’r garreg ar y chwith wrth nesáu at yr hen dŷ.
Stephen writes: There is no mention of this stone on Coflein (as far as I know), but their record for the Pool Park can be found at Coflein 266369 POOL PARK, GARDEN, EFENECHTYD.
