The village stands on the upper part of the river Alen, under Cyrn-y-Brainmountain, 7 miles SE of Ruthin r. station; and has apost office under Mold, Flintahire, and fairs on 11 March, 25 April, 6 and 23 June, 14 Aug., and 26 Oct.—The parish includes the townships of Trer-Llan and Trefydd-Bycharn, and comprises 3,390 acres. ...
