fairs, May i, Augnlt i, and Oftober 18. This town is 
feated on the fide of a deep hill, and is a place of but little 
trade; it is governed by a portreeve, &c. There are confi- 
derable quantities of lead-ore railed in this neighbourhood

It formerly had a caftle, and there are many fabulous 
accounts of it; but there is at prelent nothing remaining 
except the fide of an old tower, which at a diftance very 
much refembles the trunk of an huge oak. Here is a very 
compaft market-place, which, together with a good town- 
hall, were built by the prefent lord of the manor, and 
are within the boundaries of the old caftle. It is ten miles 
diftant from Cardiff, the fame weft from Liandaff, thirty-
