Title: Carmarthenshire Placename ?
Post by: Silmaril on Wednesday 25 March 20 12:27 GMT (UK)

Hi

I am trying to identify this place (see image) which I think is in the St Clears / Red Roses / Whitland / Laugharne area.

The author of the document from which this is taken was English and not Welsh so the spelling is suspect ... !

Any help very welcome.

Thanks
