The site of Capel Gwaldys was discovered at the beginning
of the last Century, when a decorated and inscribed stone slab was uncovered. This is incised with a ring cross and probably dates from around the 8th to the 9th Century. The remains of an enclosure wall were also found. It is said that the site was founded by Gwladys, the mother of St. Cadoc. If true, this would date the foundation of the site to the early 6th Century.It is today a beautiful mountain top surrounded by moorland and can be lonely and bleak if the weather isn't right
