LLANFIHANGEL-TRE-'R-BEIRDD, a village and a parish in the district and county of Anglesey. The village stands 2 miles E of Llanerchymedd r. station; was a favourite retreat of the Welsh bards; took from that circumstance the latter part of its name; and has a post office under Bangor. The parish comprises 1,570 acres. Real property, £1,221. Pop., 356. Houses, 82. The property is divided among a few. A cromlech, with a table-stone 10 feet long and 8 feet broad, is on Bodafon hill; and another, of small size and in a fractured state, is near Barras. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llandyfrydog, in the diocese of Bangor. The church is later English and single-aisled, and was recently in disrepair. An ancient cross is in the churchyard.
