These four stones are recorded as Coflein NPRN 275771 and also features on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Gwytherin Churchyard, Denbighshire. TNA give directions for finding the church, together with a brief archaeology & history which gives details of the founding of the first church on this site, together with discussion about the 'ancient folks' who lived here, and if the inscribed stone could mark the grave of St. Winifred herself.
