Merthyr Cynog, Caernarfonshire
OS Grid Ref.: SN25450981
Lat/Lng: 51.7596991032,-4.53058701783
Lost place-name first attested as Castelloyd and Mertherkenang in 1307.
No church is known here, although a holy well dedicated to Cynog helps to confirm the association with the cult of Cynog –Â whether or not it is the same Cynog, son of Brychan. Although the merthyr place-name is lost, it partly survives in the form Parc Cynog, a hillfort located adjacent to Castle Lloyd Farm.More information
