A bit of urban prehistory for #StandingStoneSunday

This is Maen Huail in the lovely northeastern Wales town of Ruthin. In folklore it is said to have been the stone on which Arthur had Huail (brother of Gildas) beheaded. The version of the story on The Modern Antiquarian doesn't paint Arthur in a particularly chivalric light!

Visited January 2012, while walking Offa's Dyke Path.
