That's confirmed my thoughts. I've looked at the large maps for Cantref but can't find the farm. There is a hill labelled Garn Ddu to the east of Llwyn On reservoir.

Add - modern map here:

Just south of Brecon and the River Usk is a hamlet called Cantref, then a little south east is a hill called Bryn. I imagine it is between the two, but on modern and old maps there are houses with no name.

Many of our valleys were flooded - north, south and central

With help from the other post, is this the baptism in the parish of Cantref?

27 Sept 1905 Ivor (privately twin) son of Evan, labourer & Annie Watkins of Bryngarn.
