Records are vague as to what happened next but I believe the Welsh would have m

In this post as well photos of the Bryn Glas Battle site I recently visited, photos show what can be achieved by local effort here down to the Friends of Pilleth. However, must point out that Gethin Gruffydd and Toni Lewis had started to promote this Battle Site in the 'Sixties' and there is film of them visiting. As well Cofiwn in the 'Seventies' held events here and put up a provisional wooden plaque though today there has been made vast improvements to the site and it is indeed worth visiting. If all patriots in their communities did as the Friends of Pillleth
