Mesur y Dorth / Measure of the Loaf Stone Cross

An early Christian marker stone inscribed with a cross inside a circle. Tradition has it that St David decreed that in times of poverty the maximum size of a loaf of bread should not exceed the circumference of the circle. Another legend has this as the final refreshment stop for pilgrims heading to the cathedral 6 miles further on.
