==History== There are two prehistoric scheduled monuments within Llanfaethlu Community. A hill fort with a single bank and ditch lies on a headland near the coastal hamlet of Tre-Fadog, overlooking the sandy bay of Port Trefadog. To the east of the village is the Capel Soar Standing Stone, a large and prominent standing stone visible from the A5025 and close to Soar Baptist Chapel. It is a slab, 3.2 metres (10 ft) high, and 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) wide at its base, tapering to a rounded top. Roman activity was shown by a small hoard of Roman coins, found in 1929 on a hill to the west of the church, some having been minted when Domitian was emperor, around 90 AD.
