Hi Alison,
Further to my comment that the property at SN959916 called 'Wtra' in the
recent advert brought to our attention by Neil Evans, was called 'Ty
uchaf'
on the 1891 OS map and which the latest OS map still uses; I forgot
to
mention earlier that while looking for 'Cwmllymwynt' at SN925929, as
described by Dick Jones, I noticed a place called 'Tynyrwtre' located at
about SN917915 west of Llawr -y- glyn on the road towards Waen-y-gittin.
Also there is a place called 'Penyrwtre' at SN974924, located between
two
places called 'Rhiwen', just over a mile north of Trefeglwys,
north of the
area called Ffinant, and a couple of miles south-west of Clatter.
I've no idea of the meaning of wtra.
Cheers, Tony
