County Brecon (Brecknockshire), Wales Oghm/Rune Stones

(October 27, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was recorded in 1774. It was lying prostrate by the side of a ploughed field on the farm of Ty'n y Wlad , Crickhowel (Crug Hywel), and there overgrown with brambles. 

Jones's Brecknockshire tells this story, for what it may be worth: Certain wayfarers persuaded the farmer to dig beneath it, then standing upright, in quest of gold, thereby keeping him out of the way while they looted his house. This, it is said, caused the fall of the stone. It was later removed to the garden of Glan Usk Park, close by, where it now stands. 

Present visible dimensions are 6′ 6″ × 1′ 9″ × 0′ 7.″ Its length when prostrate has been recorded as 9'.

3. Openings and curses can harbor omens about eagle-vultures. High-powers  will resist the enemy's curses. Emotional-effects will be involved with that.
4. Astrology-magic and energy  |  Disabling the openings with astrology-fate-powers is similar to activating astrology-magic.  Similar fate-revelations will be cursed.

(October 27, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone is a block of red sandstone built in beneath a string-course, on the external face of the church tower at the S.W. angle 9' 6" from the ground. The stone has been trimmed by the masons and is so placed that the lettering of the Roman inscription is upside-down .

The top of the stone has the equilateral Druid cross meaning "astrology-magic." The text does indeed discuss astrology magic.

The stone's dimensions are 5′ 6″ x 0' 10" x 0' 6".

(October 27, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone as recorded in Jones (1847) was 

"Placed as a pillar to support a gate or rails in a wall on the right - hand side of the road from Brecon to Merthyr, at the distance of about eleven miles from the former, and about fifty yards on the other side of the river Llyseuog." 

Some time before 1847 it was destroyed, when about to be removed to a museum in Swansea - either intentionally, to prevent the removal as seems to be implied by Westwood (1853), or accidentally while being transported as  stated in LW, p . 55. 

The only record of the inscription is a wood-cut in Jones's Brecknockshire, which gives which is shown.
