Uploader's Comments

On the South side of St Cian's church in Llangian stands this 5th or 6th century gravestone. Its top has in the past been cut off and possibly used to affix a sundial. The Latin inscription is clear and reads
MELI MEDICI FILI MARTINI IACIT
(the grave) of Melus Medicus son of Martinus (who) lies here
