Cilgerran (Pembrokeshire)
It is said that the spot where the remains of the Castle now stand, was known in ancient times as “Dyngeraint,” so named from Geraint, one of King Arthur’s Knights. This is the Geraint I have just mentioned above in connection with the traditions of Penbryn, Cardiganshire, a parish which is only about seven miles distance from Cilgerran. Arthur and his Knights figure prominently in the traditions of Pembrokeshire, and there is a legend of a battle fought by Arthur’s sons in the neighbourhood of Precelly.
