 A bit confused..  I went to Carmel Capel to see if I could see any gravestones. It is in Gwaun Cae Gurwen about 6 miles from Pontardawe and  is now private dwellings opposite Gron Road GCG. Spoke to resident who claimed that there never was a graveyard at this chapel. I checked with another local who also said that there was never a graveyard here. I have seen the link which shows details of gravestones so do not understand. Google maps shows buildings at the rear and a large space for cars.
Not far from here is Tairgwaith which has a Brook Terrace but as far as I can see there is no Brook Terrace in Pontardawe

The old Chapel is up on the hillside above the villages of Gwaun Cae Gurwen and Cwmgors. The Chapel was destroyed in an arson attack some years ago. The graveyard remains. You visited the 'new' Chapel which was built last century in the middle of Gwaun Cae Gurwen. This never had a graveyard and has recently been converted into a dwelling.
