Llanrhian Church
Llanrhian Church submitted by theSongofFfraed : Inscribed stone on the north-west corner of the Church of St. Rhian, in Llanrhian. It is said to be an early Christian cross but I suspect that it is a map of the layout of the llan, and that the stone is upside down. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Llanrhian Church
Llanrhian Church submitted by theSongofFfraed : This stone, serving as a gatepost, is in the central flow of the Dragon as She leaves the farmyard, after the church. It is well battered but there is possibly carvings on it too. The smaller stone above may also be significant. (Vote or comment on this photo)

On my journey with the Dragon current through Pembrokeshire I was taken to this church, St. Rhian. I guess you mean the nicely inscribed stone in the church wall - which I suspect is really a map of the Llan's layout but placed in the wall up-side-down. (Photo added)
The road the church stands beside, from Carreg Samson all the way to St. Non's, is built on the Dragon - except for a very few places (this church building, for instance). There is also a marker stone on the road that indicates the Dragon's central flow from the road to the church through the southern part of the churchyard. After Y Ddraig's (the Dragon's) journey through the churchyard She flows through a farm building and the farmyard to exit through a stone that is serving as a gatepost. I will add photos of these too.
