ISCOED (IS-COED), a township, in the parish of PENEGOES, hundred of MACHYNLLETH, county of MONTGOMERY, NORTH WALES, 2 miles
(E. N. E.) from Machynlleth, containing 380 inhabitants. The road from Machynlleth to Mallwyd, along the left bank of the
Dovey, which here receives the Dales and other tributary streams, passes through this township, and is for a few miles
skirted with thriving hedge-rows, and rich meadows and corn-fields, backed by verdant hills. This hamlet contains several
neat cottages and respectable villas, amongst which is Dolgiog, on the left bank of the Dovey, an ancient retreat of the
Welsh poet, Llywarch Hen, where, by the strains of his harp, he soothed the remembrance of his misfortunes: the parochial
church is situated within its limits.
