Corbalengi Stone
Corbalengi Stone submitted by sgking : 'Here Lies Corbalengi The Ordovician' (Vote or comment on this photo)
Sculptured Stone in Ceredigion. A Latin inscribed stone bearing the words 'CORBALENGI IACIT ORDOVS' which translates to here lies Corbalengi the Ordovician.

Ordvicies was the name given to a part of North Wales by the romans. An urn full of ashes & Roman coins were excavated from underneath it. They are on display at the Natural History Museum in Cardiff.

Access information from the landowner: There is no right of way to the stone and there are occasionally times when we do have to deny access for farming reasons. However we welcome visitors who ask - and furnish them with lots of information too.

Note that our entry previously stated that the stone is not in its original location, having been moved from a nearby farm. However the landowner has corrected this, saying the stone is in its original location.

The stone is on private land; the owners of the field don''t mind people visiting it as long as they ask first. There may be livestock reasons why they mau (unusually) refuse.
