Informations supplémentaires:
Loggerheads Boundary Stone on the N side of the A494, the Denbighshire/Flintshire border established 1763 after a bitter dispute over mineral rights between the Lords of Mold in Flintshire & the Grosvenor family in Denbighshire. The boundary stone beneath the arch is called Carreg Carn March Arthur (the stone of the hoof-print of Arthur's horse). It bears a 'footprint', traditionally the place where King Arthur's horse landed after his mighty leap from the summit of Moel Famau over three miles away. The plaque reads: "The Stone underneath this arch Carreg Carn March Arthur was adjudged to be the Boundary of the Parish and Lordship of Mold in the County of Flint and of Llanverras in the County of Denbigh by the High Court of Exchequer at Westminster 10th November 1763." The monument stands outside the entrance to Loggerheads Country Park, it was re-positioned there because of road widening.
