Description
NAR SH86SE4

An east-west line of four stones, generally 1.0m high, on the north side of St Winifred's Church, the westermost of which bears the vertical inscription:
VINNEMAGLI FILI/SENEMAGLI
Thought to signify 'of Vinnemaglus son of Senemaglus'. Probably 5th-6th century AD.

This and the remaining stones might have been set up in any period.

Source: Nash Williams 1950 Early Christan Monuments in Wales, No. 121.

The stones, in particular the inscription, have been associated with an early medieval monastic complex (NPRN 400478).
