The story

Remains of Lluest y Gadair, a former post-medieval house in the Claerwen Valley. It was locally known as Lluest Abram due to Abram Davies living there before it was deserted. One story is that Abram went to Tregaron and brought back a house maid in the dark. She was told that she could either sleep with him or the cow. She slept with the cow the first night, but slept with Abram thereafter.
