In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Maesgarmon like this:
MAESYGARMON, an ancient battle-field in the S of Flint; 1 mile W of Mold. The British Christians, under St. Germanus, encountered the Saxons and Picts here in 448; advanced against them with a loud shout of Alleluia; and gained over them what is called the "Victoria Alleluiatica. ''A stone column, in commemoration of the victory, was erected on the field in 1736.
