| Palaeography: | RCAHMW/1925, 319: `The lettering, though rude, is not that of the pre-Norman inscriptions, and may not be much earlier than the latter half of the 16th century'. Edwards/forthcoming: `Roman capitals...The A appears to have seriphs [sic.]. The letters of the inscription as recorded do not make sense, especially the existence of the W -- could it be VV? However, in view of the location and the appearance of the sketch, an early medieval Latin-inscribed stone is the most likely identification and the inscription may have been a personal name. The seriphs [sic] on the A may be compared with Aberdaron 1 and 2'. |
