Crugybar
Crugybar is a village in Carmarthenshire located between Talley and Pumsaint. It is roughly of equal distance from Lampeter, Llandovery and Llandeilo. It is within the parish of Llanwrda. Etymology The Welsh word "''Crug''" most commonly refers to a mound of earth, often a burial mound. The meaning of "''y bar''" is less certain but has been linked to the Modern Welsh word "''Barnu''", meaning "wrath" or "judgement", giving a possible etymology of "''burial place of the wrathful''" or "''burial place of the judged''". This derivation is possibly a folk etymology, connected with the local account that the Romans buried their dead here following a ferocious battle with the forces of Boudica (or Buddug in Welsh).
