Blonde,

The stone also goes by the strange name of the Efessangus stone.

I have estranged relatives who live about 100 metres from Glandwr church.

There are loads of standing stones in churches and church yards around that area - well worth hunting them out.

Cheers

Grendel

Hi Grendel

ta for the info - it was a lovely stone, with really clear ogham markings. Am def going back to that part of the world first chance i get, cos like you say there are so many stones around there - saw loads but also missed loads. Strange to see stones in chrichyard, but I have heard that churches were built around sites that were already sacred to the local community.

Do you know what the name means? I have been trying to find names for the stones I saw in Wales the other week but havent got very far!

cheers
Blonde
