Carmarthenshire, Wales Ogham/Rune Stones

(November 3, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found at the entrance to Castell Dwyran graveyard. It was later moved to the grounds of Gwrmacrwydd House near Llanfallteg. From there it was moved to the  Carmarthen Museum were it remains. 

Its dimensions are 7' 0" x 2' 0" x 0' 10".

The symbol is that of a Celtic/Druid equilateral cross on the disk of the dark new moon god Su. The cross is the runic text "T" meaning astrology magic" and astrology magic is associated with Su.

This stone is significant because it mixes ogham with Latin. Being a vow, the Latin is  pre-Christian dating it to between 100-400 CE. Christians were forbidden to make vows (Matthew 5:21–48). This means the ogham text was even earlier because the Latin text is written around the ogham and its associated symbol. This early dating is contrary to the prevailing opinion dating ogham to the Christian era.

(November 4, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found built into the outer face of the north wall of the nave of the local church. Prior to that it was a sill-stone in the west doorway. As a consequence, the surface is scaled and the inscription much injured.

The dimensions of the exposed face are 4' 8" x 2' 2".

The letter style of this text is late Etruscan indicating that this is one of the earliest runestones in Britain.

(November 6, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found lying in a field just outside the boundary of the churchyard and the road which passes it. An oval hollow on the upper surface gives it an appearance resembling the seat of a wooden chair. The stone is locally called "the Chair of St. Canna" (the patron saint of the parish). As though to confirm the traditional name, the letters CANV are cut on the margin at the back of the seat-hollow.

Its dimensions are 2' 6" x 2' 0" x 0' 8"

In Welsh tradition, Canna was a sixth-century mother of saints and later a nun in south Wales, to whom two Welsh churches are dedicated. This name seems to have been taken from this Druid phrase. Even though runic texts could no longer be read they were still remembered as being magical.
