The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this legendary healing stone - see their entry for St. Canna’s Stone, Llangan, Carmarthenshire, which has a drawing of the chair, descriptions of the stone from 19th, 20th and 21st century reference material and local folklore.
The stone is also recorded as Coflein NPRN 304241, which adds this is a: "rough stone block bearing the inscription "CANV", which may be the name of a saint or have suggested one; thought to be an early Christian monument involved in the cult of St Canna. Associated with: Canna's Well (Nprn32465); St Canna's Church (Nprn114992). The stone was moved to its present location, from SN17751875, in about 1925."
