Grey Hill Bronze Age ritual site faces down onto the Severn Estuary from up high. A local tale in Llanvair Discoed village tells of John Gaunt the giant who had a throwing match with the devil. The giant threw one stone into a field (behind the ruinous castle and church), the Devil threw his into the Severn, creating Denny’s Island.
