On the top of Esgair Dderw is an impressive Bronze Age standing stone. Maen is Welsh for large stone, whilst Serth can have two meanings, either steep or obscene. Standing at roughly seven feet high this stone would have served as a waymark for thousands of years to generations of travellers. The stone also marks the spot of an infamous murder in the 12th century when two brothers - Cadwallon and Einon Clud were murdered by Roger Mortimer, a Norman "Marcher" Lord, after he was beaten by Einon in a jousting tournament.'
