Re: St Gwyndaf Stones (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | Perusing my book of saints came across Gwnda in Llanwnda, googled it and the megalithic portal came up, for which thank you.
Apparently the carvings were discovered in restoration work in 1881, so there are 4 cross-marked stones,part of a cross slab and an interesting figure panel from a cross stone, one stone suggests a female or hooded monk, another of a cleric with hand raised.
The church overlooks Strumble Head and Carregwastad. A story goes that St. Gwndaf returning from Fishguard after an argument with St.Aidan, fell and broke his leg. He cursed the stream so that no fish would ever swim in it!
Interesting note for Breverton always mixes his prehistory with celtic saints.. "The seven feet standing stone known as Parc Hen is between Carn Wnda and Hennen School. This site on the headland between Fishguard and Aber Mawr is in line with 4 burial chambers, four iron age forts and two standing stones, all in a distance of three miles". | [ Reply to This ]
