Located near the perimeter wall of the Church of St Tewdric. Tewdric or Tewdrig ap Teithfallt was a 6th century king of the post-Roman kingdom of Glywysing, roughly modern-day Glamorganshire. He abdicated in favour of his son Meurig and retired to live as a hermit. He was recalled to lead his son's army against a Saxon force. He won the battle, but was mortally wounded.
