ECM: Pont-rhyd-y-fen; pillar stone
Rectangular stone, re-shaped as a gate-post (reduced in width and probably length), with three evenly spaced hanger-holes in the face. Incised linear cross-crosslet with circle enclosing the intersection of the main cross and traces of circles enclosing two, and probably three, of the crosslets. The latter in each case have four symmetrically placed dots in the interspaces and the arms terminated by short cross-bars with splayed ends. The face is worn (through probable use as a threshold) and there are holes for door-posts and for a bolt.
