Rejected petition Pillar of Eliseg, carved stone from the 850s AD, should be moved to a Amgueddfa Cymru to protect it.

The Eliseg Pillar (near Valle Crucis, Llangollen) carved lettering is rapidly eroding away. It is the most important Early Medieval stone in Cymru. Yet, it is out in the open, weather eroding and needs to be placed into a Museum before the final details are lost for ever. A copy should be erected at the location where it is currently housed in a field.

More details

The Eliseg Pillar has been moved several times from its original location, which is likely unknown.
It was re-erected in the 1750s, after being partially destroyed in the British Civil War.
The carvings document the Kingdom of Powys up until he 850s.
