ELISEG PILLAR, a monumental structure in Denbigh; in the Valle Crucis, 2 miles NNW of Llangollen. It was erected in the 7th century, in memory of Eliseg, father of Brochmael, prince of Powis; has four inscriptions, each beginning with a cross, and may itself have been originally cruciform, thus giving name to the valley; was once 12 feet high, but suffered overthrow and mutilation during the rebellion; and was restored in its present form in 1779.
