Reading edition
l. 3. Din’s Brinna’s cone—In 1390, Castel Dinas-Brân, now a bare ruin, was inhabited by the lovely Lady Mifanwy Vechan, of the house of Tudor Trevor. She was beloved by the Bard Hoel. See Mr Pennant’s Tour, adorned by a pleasing translation in English verse, of one of Hoel’s poems in her praise, and complaining of her coldness. The ruins of Castel Dinas-Brân, are on a conoid mountain of laborious access. It rises in the midst of Llangollen Valley.
