Hello Daniel
I would think the parish would be Llandeilo Abercywyn (Sometimes written
as Llandilo Abercowan).
As a start you could have a look at this page:-

Dear list: I am brand new to your list and I am praying that someone
here can help me with a bit of sleuthing. I have been looking for the
birth place of this man for 50 years since my grandmother told me bits
and pieces of her story.
I have just within the last 24 hours learned that my 4th great
grandfather JOHN LEWIS SR. was born in or at the Parish of Llardills,
Abba Cowen, County of Carmarthen, South Wales, UK. His date of birth is
13 February 1771 as this is the information on his tombstone. He died
on 5 October 1846 and is interred at the Greenwood-Union Cemetery, Rye,
Westchester County, New York, USA. Inscription indicates that his wife
is named Sarah. His son Henry and John Jr. and daughter in law Cynthia
are also interred there as well. Mr. Lewis Sr. and his wife Sarah are
numbers 124 and 125 on my personal pedigree chart. I do not know how he
came to be in the USA and do not know where his marriage took place. I
would be interested in knowing something about the parish. Thank you in
advance for your help here.
