MOUNT (MOEL-Y-MWNT), a parish, in the lower division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, union of CARDIGAN and county of
CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 8 miles (N.) from Cardigan; containing 140 inhabits ants, who are exclusively employed in
agriculture. This parish, which is situated at the south-western extremity of the county, and on the shore of Cardigan
bay, derives its name from a lofty bill of conical form near the church. At the base of this bill is a large sand bank,
covering a great number of human bones, which are occasionally visible when the sand is scattered by the wind, and are
supposed to be the remains of a body of Flemings, who, having effected a landing on this part of the coast, were
encountered by the natives, and repulsed with great slaughter. The surrounding scenery is destitute of beauty, and the
only views possessing any interest are those up the Vale of Teivy, and those extending over the bay, which is occasionally
enlivened by the passing of vessels. The coast is here very bold and precipitous, and the sounding within a short distance
of the land is from four to seventeen fathoms. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £1000 royal bounty; present
net income, £55; patron, David Lewis, Esq.; impropriators, T. Lloyd and C. Longcroft, Esqrs. The church, dedicated to the
Holy Cross, and situated near the sea, is an ancient edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel, but is not distinguished
by any architectural details.
