CEULAN, a township, joint with Maesmawr, in the parish of LLANVIHANGEL-GENEU'R-GLYN, union of Aberystwith, upper division
of the hundred of GENEU'R-GLYN, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 8 miles (N. E.) from Aberystwith, containing, with
Maesmawr, 607 inhabitants. It appears to derive its name from the rivers Ceulan and Maesraor, the former of which runs
through the township, and joins the river Lery within a short distance, and the latter runs along the northern extremity
of it: the road from Aberystwith to Ma.chynlleth crosses at the point of junction of the Ceulan and the Lery, where the
small but neat village of mi y bont is situated. At this place the partial views of the ocean, on one side, and on the
other the stream tumbling over the rocky precipices, in picturesque cascades, overhung with a great variety of trees and
shrubs, are peculiarly enlivening. An ancient seat, belonging to the family of Price, stands here between the right bank
of the Ceulan and the high road, within the grounds of which are some fine full-grown fir trees. On a mountain in this
neighbourhood, called Pen Sarn Dar, is situated that ancient monument termed Gwely Taliesin, or Taliesin's Bed, a more
particular description of which is given under the head of the parish. This township is separately assessed for the
support of its poor, the average annual expenditure amounting to 154.3.
