Maenclochog
Maenclochog is a village and community in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales. It is also an electoral ward comprising an area that brings together the villages of Llanycefn, Maenclochog and Rosebush. The electoral ward had a population at the 2011 census of 3,104.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕
Maenclochog lies south of the Preseli Hills, about one mile southeast of the village of Rosebush on the B4313 Narberth to Fishguard road.
==Origin of the name==
The origin of the name Maenclochog is unclear. It appears to be made up of two Welsh words, ''maen'' ("stone") and ''clochog'' ("bells"). A local tale reports that there were stones near Ffynnon Fair, ("Mary's Well"), to the south of the village, which rang like bells when struck, but these were blown to bits by treasure-hunters, under the mistaken belief that they concealed a golden treasure. This may represent nothing more than folk etymology. An alternative proposal is that the second part of the name comes from the Irish word, ''clochog'', meaning a craggy place. This theory is supported by the fact that there was Irish migration to Pembrokeshire in the early Middle Ages, as attested to by the Ogham stones found in the locality and elsewhere, and certainly the name suits the topography of the area.〔Naws am Le/Sense of Place: PLANED leaflet 2010〕
