mm Trusty`s Hill huh , I wonder why nobody "dare" suggest the carving depicts the marriage of Arthur and Guinevere , Certainly looks like it to me ! Or even and-or Drystan ap Tallwych ! known to us as Tristan , his Marriage to Iseult isnt abad thought as Irelands not far away from there. His Uncle Meirchion may have had the other fortress at the Mote of Mark. Great site Dane ! all the best ... Stephen Holden.
