Hike to The Carlo Memorial (The Dog Stone), Varteg, Wales
This memmorial was erected to the memory of Carlo, a setter owned by Henry Martyn Kennard of Crumlin Hall. Carlo was accidently killed during a shooting party organised by the Blaenavon Company on the 'Glorious Twelfth' of 1864. Kennedy ordered that the dog be buried where he was shot and then arranged for the memorial to be cast, presumably in the Blaenavon Ironworks, and erected over the grave.
The inscription reads:
"In memory of CARLO a celebrated setter the property of HM Kennard esq Crumlin Hall accidentally shot August 12th 1864" One of the dangers of "the glorious twelfth"?
It is not clear if "the dog stone" refers to this plaque or the pile of stones nearby
