Folklore

Dyffryn Lane
Henge

The traditions of the country point to these lands as the site of an ancient battle-field. One of the workment present told us that a very old master, with whom he worked on that land when a young man, used to say that there had been foul work there a long time ago. The old farmer would threaten to call up the “old one” who was buried there.

From ‘Tumulus at Berriew, Montgomeryshire’, in Archaeologia Cambrensis, July 1857.
