Visited: Yes on 11th Sep 2026. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Bridell Churchyard submitted by Horatio on 4th Jun 2019. standing in the churchyard of St David’s Church. It may be in situ, or may have originally been associated with cist graves found in the field to the west of the churchyard in the 19th century.
The stone is spotted dolerite deriving from the Carn Meini in the Preseli Hills and could possibly be a reused standing stone. Measurements are given as 222cm height x 63.5>10cm width x 20cm diameter.

Log Text: St David's Church, Bridell (Ogam and cross inscribed stone): We parked outside the southern gates into the churchyard, and were shocked at how unkept the churchyard was, and wondered how we were ever going to find the inscribed stone with all the tall grass - and how I was going to get to photograph it.
As we walked up towards the church, the stone stood tall and narrow above the surrounding gravestones, so in the end it was easy to spot. Someone else had been there quite recently, and trodden down the long grass leading up to the stone, and also in places were I wanted to stand to photograph it, which was very helpful.
After photographing the stone, we walked round to the north side of the church, which presented a different view. The grass was well mown and there were recent graves with flowers on. The church was very firmly locked, so we were unable to look inside.

Cilgerran Churchyard submitted by vicky on 4th Apr 2002. Cilgerran Churchyard (SN191431) – one of several standing stones located in churchyards in this part of SW Wales. The stone can be hard to find amongst the similarly grey tombstones and exhibits lettering on one face and crude cross symbols of two other faces. Our research pixie is looking in to this stone further.

Log Text: Cilgerran Stone, St Llawddog's Church: We had trouble finding this church, as the main entrance into the church was from the single track, windy Church Lane with no parking places for visitors. However, from Camaes Street (the main road running through the village) there is a blue notice board for the church, with a lane running northwards towards the church. This led straight to the southern side of the churchyard, with immediate access to the Cilgerran Stone.
I took printed copy of Prof. Howard William's Archaedeath entry for this stone, plus the Coflein entry, with us to help look at all the features on the stone.
The church was open, but nothing of much note inside it. Opening the west door into the church, the porch was absolutely pitch black; thank goodness for a torch on my mobile phone, but then we found the lights. Nothing particular of note within.

Log Text: Corbalengi Stone, Penbryn: Driving up from Cardigan, where we stopped for lunch, we found the location marked on the OS map, but could not see the stone at all. Parking the car near the cross-roads, looking at the map, Andrew got out of the car and walked over to the gate into the field we thought the stone was in. The gentleman from the house came out and asked if we were lost, so Andrew explained we were looking for the stone. The gentleman explained it was in the next field over, told us to park in his driveway and we were welcome to go and look at it.
What a treat! About 100m from the gate into the first field, the stone stands on a mound, with brilliant views over Aberporth Bay; shame about the caravan park immediately below. I took photos from all angles, then we trudged reluctantly back to the car. We didn't see any evidence at all of the defended enclosure located just to the west of the house - not a surprise, as it was originally spotted by cropmarks, but I looked anyway.
I looked for the gentleman to thank him, but he was no-where to be seen. Thank you very much for your generosity, sir!

Log Text: Capel Colman 1 (Maen Golman): There is a parking area just outside the church, which was busy with walkers; where the traffic was coming from going up and down this small lane left us wondering where it was going from and to. The stone is down the farm track south of St Colman's Church, an easy walk of a few hundred metres from the parking area.
The stone is tucked in the corner of a hedgerow, and only 3 of the sides area visible. The side with the inscribed cross is against the hedgerow, and despite trying to get underneath the hedge to take a closer look (someone had tried this, as you could see where they'd crawled under the hedge and flattened the grass on the other side), neither of us could view/photograph this face.
Sadly, the gothic-looking, with its very spooky/atmospheric graveyard, was very firmly locked; I would have like to have had a look inside.

Log Text: St Tysilio's Church, Llandysilio: Our last visit of our trip to Pembrokeshire, visited as it was enroute back home. We had three different attempts to find the church, trying different side roads - my sat nav couldn't find the church, and this village is a long and thin ribbon development, with similar road layouts going along. Anyway, we got there in the end. Found the stones easily enough, although the deep shade against the south wall made it a little tricky to photograph the stones. The church was locked, so we couldn't see inside.
