TheCaptain visited on 10th Oct 2018 Day out exploring the south Wales coast. On the way back, stop off at Ogmore Castle, gleaming orange in the setting sun. Within the castle is mounted a stone which clearly has carvings on it, but in the dark shadow of the castle walls, it was impossible to make anything out clearly.

Supposedly, the inscription reads: EST / QUOD.DED[IT] / ARTHMAIL /AGRUM DO / ET GLIGUIS. / ET NERTAT ET FILIE : SU[A]
