ganshire that a powerful giant once
kept a post on Crug Mawr, or Pentry-
chryd Maur. in the vale OF Aeron Cir
aldus mentions an open grave which
was to be seen In that neighborhood
which fitted the length of any man, be
he small or great. This was supposed
to be. and was pointed out as the grave
Of the giant. for he was the genius Of
| the Aeron Vale His palace is said to
have been on the hill, and according to
the traditions of the place he was in
the habit of inviting neighboring giants
to trial of strength, and wonderful
were the fetes accomplished by these
mighty men. At one OF the meetings
quolts were proposed. and, after a se-
we're contest the hero Of Crug Mawr
won the day. throwing his QUOT clean
over the sea. and. planting It on the
Irish shore, and henceforth gave the
Cardigan giant superiority over all
other giants in Ceredlg's land. Wonder
| II there are many Of these remarkable
giants living In Cerdltanshire today?
