ABERMARLAIS.
At the entrance gate of Abermarlais Park there is an interesting stone, near which, according to a tradition related to me by Mrs. De Rutzen, the Welsh Princes held a council of war. I was also informed by people in the neighbourhood that the spot was once haunted by the ghost of a lady in white.
OYSTERMOUTH CASTLE (GOWER).
It is said that in an underground dungeon of Oystermouth Castle is, or there was, a large pillar known as “The Wishing Post,” around which young men and young women, when wishing for a lover or sweetheart, were in the habit of walking nine times, and at the same time sticking a pin in the pillar and looking on the wall, when they were supposed to see “a lady in white.”
OXWITCH (GOWER).
Near the Bone Caves is a cromlech known as Arthur’s Stone. According to tradition, St. David split it with a sword in proof that it was not sacred.
