that places UCHLAWRCOED in the parish of Bedwellty (that probably doesn't
help much in exact location)
There are spelling variations UWCHLAWRCOED & ISHLAWRCOED that return more

Chapel situated near Sirhowy Bridge in the hamlet of Uwchlawrcoed; Roger

(Endorsed: 1837, December 8.) "
BEDWELLTY, a parish in the lower division of the hundred of Wentllooge, in
the county of Monmouth, 7 miles to the W. of Pont-y-pool. Newport is its
post town. It is situated in a hilly district between the river Rumney, on
the W., and the Sirhowey on the E., and contains the chapelries of Rhymney
and Tredegar, the latter being now a market town, and the hamlets of
Ishlawrcoed, Mamhole, and Uwchlawreoed. The district is rich in iron and
coal, and is the seat of an extensive iron manufacture, giving employment to
above 1,300 hands. Between 3,000 and 4,000 persons are engaged in the great
ironworks and collieries in the vicinity." [From The National Gazetteer of
Great Britain and Ireland (1868) - Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003]

Hi Grant
I thought someone with more knowledge than I would have responded to this
but as they haven't ....
I've not been able to find this name on any modern map, including the OS
database. I believe it was simply swallowed up by the expanding town of
Tredegar and the name disappeared.
