Cerrig y Cledd (North)

Gwynedd, Wales.
The Sword Stone.
A large natural stone, apparently split in two, each seemingly bearing half the imprint of a sword within the rock.
Cerrig y Cledd, Sword Stones, refers to the Field of Swords, the last battle fought between the Welsh & the Romans. When a treaty was agreed the Welsh threw a sword into the air as a pledge of faith. The sword landed on a rock & split it. We have seen this stone. The stone is split open & on each half there is an impression of a sword.
