Hi Grant
From what I've been able to deduce from old maps and general comments etc,
I suspect it was a hamlet of half a dozen cottages and a tumbledown
cow-byre or something like that.
Sometimes when settlements expand and overrun the outlying hamlets, granges
etc around them, the names of those hamlets or granges survive as districts
of the expanded settlement while sometimes they don't. Whether they do or
don't, or which ones do and which ones don't, is probably a function of
sheer chance. I imagine Uchlawrcoed was just unlucky.
Regards
STC

Hi Susan,
Many thanks for the reply, I too couldn't find it, that's why I asked the
list, hoping that some one cleverer than me would have heard of it and be
able to give me a location - it would seem from some of the replies that it
wasn't an actual place, just a district :-(
Happy hunting
Grant
