[edit]Gaerllwyd is located 6 miles (9.7 km) south east of Usk and 7 miles (11 km) north west of Chepstow on the B4235 road.
History and amenities
[edit]
Gaerllwyd is set in a very rural agricultural area in the heart of Monmouthshire. The village has a Baptist chapel, situated on the Gaerllwyd Crossroads, which is still in regular religious use. Near the chapel is a Neolithic burial chamber, or cromlech dated to around 4,000 BC. It is made up of a capstone which would have had three upright stone supports.[1] The outer cairn has been removed by road construction and stone robbing, although archaeologists are uncertain whether a covering mound would ever have been in place.[2] To the south there are some Early Bronze Age monuments including two stone circles, a standing stone and a round barrow cemetery.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
