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.
