BEDDAU-GWYR-ARDUDWY, a group of ancient graves on Michnant hill, Merioneth; 3 miles NE of Festiniog, and 14 WNW of Bala. The men of Ardudwy made an incursion into the vale of Clwyd; carried off thence a number of maidens, whom they intended to marry; and were pursued by the warriors of the vale to Michnant hill, and all there put to the sword. The graves on the spot are the graves of these men; they were about 36 in number, arranged in a regular order; and they long continued to be each from 2 to 3 feet high, with a small stone at the head and another at the feet; but they have ceased to he distinguishable, and only two headstones are standing.
