In the middle of the junction of the A472, Caerphilly Road and Commercial Street. Best viewed from above, a depiction of a giant oak leaf is on the roundabout. A nearby information board records that the oak leaf continues the symbolic nature of the pub on the right (Ye Olde Royal Oak) https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5992831 as a focal point for directions. Names for local taverns are centuries old, dating from a time when many of their customers were unable to read. A public house was easily recognised by a distinctive image such as an oak tree.
