Description The Three Stones which gave Trellech in Gwent its name stand in a field just outide the village. (SO5005) Possibly the entrance to a lost long barrow, the stones are sometimes called Harold's Stones marking a Saxon victory over the Britons, but they are much older than that. Nearby is a wonderful holy well and a preaching cross set upon an earlier mound. A very special place.
