[Stones] Barclodiad y gawres

[Thelma Wilcox]

Hi Ric, 
  Looking it up in Peter Beresford Ellis's book of Celtic tales, he tells the story of staying on the Lleyn Peninsula, in the area around Trefor in the 1970s and  he says that the creation of  the Bloedeudd story is said to have happened here, he was told the tale by a chewdleuwr (storyteller) Its the spot where Lleu lived as an eagle., I see the story has my favourite pig in it - the fabulous Twrch Trwyth ;)  On the north shore Gwydon sought a name for his son.  south-west by Bardsey Island, Branwen's starling came ashore and so on.  Apparently there is the Lech Goronwry Pebr (the stone of Goronwry) with the great hole in it that Lleu killed him through, though I'm not sure where it is..
