Discovery:first mentioned, 1770 Strange, I.
History:Anon/1862, 156: `The CVNOG stone was inadvertently (!) built with the letters inwards to the tower. Sir, if I were the squire of the parish, I would have the stone rescued at my own expense'.

Anon/1872: `now destroyed, according to the correspondent of Lewis' Top. Dict.'.

Westwood/1876, 56, 59--60: `The name of CATUC also occurred upon a stone forming the threshold of the door of Llandefailog Church, which, so far as I could ascertain on the spot, appears to have been destroyed...This stone...is no longer to be found...It is referred to in an anonymous article in Arch. Camb., 1862, pp. 52 and 156, as the Cunog stone, and is stated to have been inadvertently (!) built with the letters inwards into the arch between the nave and tower of the church of Llandevaelog-fach'.

Macalister/1945, 321: `stone which formerly served as the threshold of the church door...It is uncertain from whence it was brought, or when it was placed in the threshold; from which it was afterwards removed and `inadvertently' inserted into the tower arch, inscribed face inward, at a rebuilding of the church. As a consequence, it is now inaccessible'.

Nash-Williams/1950, 74: `Now lost'.

Palaeography:Macalister/1945, 321: `[the stone] is said to have been inscribed with the (fragmentary) word CATVC, `rudely scuptured' -- otherwise, but as it appears incorrectly, given as CVNOG in casual references in AC 1862'.
