| Curiously was reading this very day about a stone in Wales. Possibly gone now, couldn't see it on Canmore. from Celtic Folklore Welsh and Manx by John Rhys (1901) Scroll down to the bit about Ffynnon Grassi This larger field is called Cae'r Ladi, I the Lady's Fiela,' and it is remarkable for having in its centre an ancient standing stone, which, as seen from the-windows of the house, presents the appear.ance of a female figure hurrying along, with the wind slightly swelling out her veil and the skirt of her dress. Mr. Williams-Ellis remembers how when he was a boy the! stone was paFtially white-washed, and how an old bonnet adorned the top of this would-be statue, and he thinks that an old shawl used to be thrown over the shoulders. http://www.public-domain-conte[...]nds_and_sagas/cfwm/cf200.shtml Reply | with quote |  4th August 2005ce 17:08 In reply to: Re: Dressing up stones (Paulus) |
