Aside from the miscalculation, I don't think this is very likely because
Llywelyn ap Gruffudd died in December 1282.
I'm not a historian but 1282 is a date I do recall from school history
lessons, and I was at the event at Cilmeri in 1982 to commemorate the 700th
anniversary of his assassination.
I don't know of any special historical significance to the date 1288 in
relation to Llywelyn or Cilmeri, but others may know more. Events are held
there regularly however and the plaque may have been produced to
commemorate one that took place in 1988. Or it may simply indicate the date
the plaque was produced.
An interesting find in any event.
