History of the Mynydd Mawr

Research into the history of one's local area will immediately prove its value to the historian, in that invariably the area is a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosmic development of the whole country. This is particularly true of my own area, Mynydd Mawr, and the surrounding area which constituted the medieval division of Cantref Bychan, situated to the east of the river Towy in the county of Carmarthenshire.
