"This is Maenclochog 1 - which was first noted by Lewis Morris as being situated by the house of one William Lewis, who then moved it to another of his personal homes 14 miles (22.5 km) away at Cenarth. This was in 1776 (when a further source suggested that it was found 'at no great distance from a very large old camp,' subsequently identified as a prehistoric henge (with a now-destroyed Neolithic chambered tomb) from the surviving crop mark. In 1893, this stone made a further journey to its last and current resting place at Cenarth churchyard. The Roman lettering reads downwards: CVRCAGNI FILIAANDAGELLI (translated 'of Curcagnus son of Andagellus'.) It is related to the Pembrokeshire Llandeilo 1 and 2 grouping, with possibly familial names used. Dated 5th or early 6th C."
