A battle is alleged to have taken place here between Owain Glyndwr and Henry IV's forces in 1400 or 1401; the only source for this information appears to be an account by Iolo Morgannwg. The site is marked on early edition Ordnance Survey 6in and 25in maps as "Stalling Down Site of Battle Between the English and Welsh A.D. 1401"
