context_page_description: Llywel is a small village located on the A40, about 4 miles west of Sennybridge in Powys, Wales. The Afon Gwydderig runs through the village, not far from its source. Llywel also gives its name to a community. The main settlement in the community is Trecastle. According to the 2001 Census the population of Llywel community is 524, falling to 497 at the 2011 Census.
context_section_description: An Ogham stone named the Llywel Stone—because it was brought to the attention of the British Museum by the local vicar—, Lewis Price, was found at Pentre Poeth Farm. (Pentre Poeth farm no longer exists. It was in the region close to Cwm-cynwal and Pant y cadno just off the road from Bwysfa fawr near Trecastle on the way to Belfont farm Crai. There now is a large water tank on the place where the farm stood, which now is on Tircapel (Ty'r capel) farm ground. Tirchapel farm is believed to be named after an ancient chapel, Capel Illud, and it may be that the Llywel stone originally stood at the chapel site. The site is along the Roman road from Caerleon to Carmarthen, the Via Julia Montana).
  In 1878, the Llywel stone was acquired by the British Museum where it is on display. The inscription on the stone is 'MACCVTRENI + SALICIDVNI'. A National Park booklet provides a drawing of the Llywel Stone and states that copies reside with Llywel Church and the Brecknock Museum, Brecon.
