Celtic Fairy Tales, XXI. Beth Gellert., sentence 46

Croker (_Fairy Legends of Ireland_, vol. iii. p. 165) points out several places where the legend seems to have been localised in place-names--two places, called "Gwal y Vilast" ("Greyhound's Couch"), in Carmarthen and Glamorganshire; "Llech y Asp" ("Dog's Stone"), in Cardigan, and another place named in Welsh "Spring of the Greyhound's Stone."

Who acts: p., legend, Gwal, Llech · What happens: point out, seem, localise, call, y, name · To what, where: several places, Cardigan, place names, Vilast, Asp, place · Speech: someone speaks here
