They were created in the early 18th century as part of a clearance for the Duke of Beaufort, using convict labour from the nearby prison, which held convicts prior to their exportation to Australia.text/html2005-12-31T21:01:20+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4200Ros Hallett51.756272 -2.921370SO3606 : Coed-y-Bwnydd
