Thank you Rosinish: I have made some fresh research and came up with a candidate to fit the "L Powel" inscribed on the stone. My gt gt gt gt grandfather was the rev William Watkins, curate of Callwen. His daughter, Gwenllian Watkins, married Llewelyn Powel. Could he be the figure in relief? and could he have been a clegyman? His style and attire are similar to those of people like Howell/Hywel Harries of Trefeca.

Gadget: Yes, the Callwen I refer to is the church between Defynnog and the the top of the Swansea Valley - not far from Dan-yr-Ogof Caves.

I'm beginning to wonder whether this could be a boundary stone? or possibly a stone placed above the entrance to a house or other building?

By the way, if anyone is interested in our family history - families in Cwmwysg (Breconshire) and Llanddeusant (Carmarthenshire), let me know and I'll send a link to the family tree.

Thanks Skoosh. There is nothing on the reverse. Only the red soil of Breconshire.

Thanks Gadget - it's about 14" high - on the bottom right there's a 50p piece to give a sense of scale.

Thanks too Rosinish. There is a link between these two families, which I'm looking into now. I'll keep posting the findings

Carmarthenshire / Mysterious stone from Cwmwysg, Breconshire
« on: Wednesday 09 August 17 19:01 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone would like to shed some light on this stone? It was handed down through the generations in Cwmwysg, Breconshire, possibly from the Watkins family of Bryntywarch, Llwyncor, Brynmaen and back to Callwen.
It is inscribed " L Powel"

 Diolch, Mei.
