What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Gwely Melangell;Saint Monacella's Bed as Shrine from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to Saint Melangell (also known as Monacella), a 6th-century Welsh saint associated with healing and protection, particularly for animals and women in childbirth. The site's name, meaning "Melangell's bed," suggests a place of prayer or pilgrimage, reflecting her tradition of living a life of solitude and devotion in the woods of Powys.
