Penbryn (Cardiganshire)

According to my friend, the Rev. Prys Williams (Brythonydd), there is a farm in this parish called “Perth Geraint”; and it is probable that Geraint, one of King Arthur’s knights was buried somewhere in this neighbourhood, as tradition locates in the parish of Penbryn, the “Battle of Llongborth,” at which Geraint was killed. This is the Geraint who figures in the Mabinogion, and in Tennyson, as the knight who married the young Lady Enid, who is described as “comely and graceful.”

There is a stone near Troed-y-Rhiw, which, according to tradition, was an ejected pebble from the clog of a giant who lived in the district in ancient times.
