An early Gorsedd was held by Iolo Morganwg (Edward Williams) at this location known as the 'Rocking Stone' (in Welsh, 'Y Maen Chwŷf') at Pentrebach, Pontypridd. Iolo, a stonemason by trade, constructed a stone circle around the central stone 'The Rocking Stone', which is a glacial boulder remaining from the Ice Age.
