 GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - 18th Century Wales
The gentry of Wales, enjoying a period of peace and prosperity, were anxious to find out about both their origins and their localities and historians were only to happy to oblige them with histories of the various Welsh counties.
Next, in an age called by Professor Davies "a golden age of local history," Edward Lhuyd (1660-1709) of Llanforda, Oswestry produced works that were to have an enormous influence on antiquarian studies in Britain.
Of more immediate appeal, however, than the scientific work of Lhuyd, was that of Theophilus Evans, dealer in myths and supplier of acceptable history.

The author of the essay was not, however, Lhuyd, but his friend David Parry, A.B., underkeeper of the Ashmolean Museum, and the Appendix is probably by him also.

Edward Lhuyd in Gibson's Camden, 627 states that the stone was 'erected near the highway' on the road from Carmarthen to Cynvel at Llan-Newydd.
According to Lhuyd the letters were undamaged, yet the flaking which has taken away the bottoms of the letters from the first line pre-dates the second line of text, as the letters are carved on the new matrix.
Moreover, where as Lhuyd has the text as horizontal the current stone has the text running vertically.
