Hello Leigh,

It was one of the old townships of the parish of Mold.

It was VERY approximately square in shape.

One side of the "square" went from the present-day roundabout at the
Ruthin end of the Mold bypass, as far as the road leading to Maeshafn,
taking in the village of Gwernymynydd.

The "square" then took in the rural area to the south of that line,
reaching almost to Nercwys.

The name has disappeared from modern Ordnance Survey maps.
