Hiking

This exceptional, intricately engraved Celtic cross, measuring an impressive 13ft/4m tall, is seen as a memorial to a fallen Welsh king. A Latin inscription on the base of the monument has been translated as 'The cross of Margiteut, son of Etguin', which is thought to be a reference to Mareddud, a descendant of lawgiver Hywel Dda, who ruled the ancient kingdom of Deheubarth and in 1035 died in battle. In addition to the inscription, extensive patterns of knots and braids are carved into the cross.
