Hi Joel,As a regular visitor to Ynys Mon I took a keen interest in your posting on here.I know someone who is quite an authority on welsh history and especially Ynys Mon, and they have come up with the following info for you.Firstly the spelling has slightly mutated from Llechcynfarwyr, which is first mentioned as a farm/homestead in records from 1254. It is in the comote of Llifon on Ynys Mon. Its means Stone of Cynfarwyr, and further reference can be found in the following book. Dictionary of Place Names of Wales. page 292, ISBN NUMBER 9781843239017. I am going to Ynys Mon in 8 days and will go to look for this place for you and if I find it I will take some photos and let you have them either through here or via e mail.Hope this helps.HywlSeirian.

Diolch for the compliment....if I had an ounce of what the Gwenllians of our history have (Llywelyns daughter, and the Lord Rhys mother to name but two) I will be very happy. I will keep on learning and plan to add a visit to the National Library in as soon as I can. The history lessons in this nation are a disgrace.

Hi Gareth,Can I ask how you went about educating yourself in the history of Wales and its people. I have a keen interest in everything from before the Roman occupation of the islands, through the true welsh princes, onwards to Glyndwr and then to the more modern men of our times from Dic Penderyn, Cayo, Dennis and John Jenkins etc. I would be fascinated to know more about the methods you use in educating yourself. Was it all books? discussions with like minded people? visits to historical sites etc. Any help and advice you could offer or further links would be much appreciated.Seirian
