Grant of pasturage rights in Cyfeiliog by Gwenwynwyn ab Owain Cyfeiliog to the abbey of Strata Marcella (Ystrad Marchell) within defined boundaries (see below).

Wenunwen son of Owin has given to God, the Glorious Virgin Mary and the monks of Stradmarchell, for the salvation of his soul, in free, quiet and perpetual alms, all the pasturage-rights in the whole of the province called Keueilliauc within these bounds, namely, from Bon main melin to Lluin ecrois, and thence in a straight line to Blain nanhanauc, and thence Nanhanauc to its aber, and thence to Abernant karthbrandu and along the length of this stream to its blain, and thence in a straight line to Carnethwen, and thence to Gobleitheu and from Pen Gobleitheu, Blain nant teyling to its aber, and thence the Bacho to Aber dengum, and thence along the Dengum to its source, and thence to Keilligogeu, and thence to the Reidiaul, and along the Reidiaul to Gwrhet Kei, and thence the Reidiaul again to Aber Camdwr Keueiliauc, and from Aber Camdwr Keueiliauc to its source, and thence in a straight line to Blain eynniaun, and thus along the Eynniaun to its aber, and thence along the Deui to Aber dwlas, and thence along the Dwlas to its source, and thence in a straight line to Kenghulf, and thence to Blain lloido, and along the Lloido to its aber, and thence the Deui to Aber llewenith, and thus along the Llewenith to its source, and thence in a straight line to Red pebellua on the Clawedauc, and thence along the Clawedauc to the Gwernach, and along the Gwernach to its source, and thence as the higher hill leads to Red derwen and thus along the Derwen to Euernoe, and thence Nant er heyre to the Lledwern, and from Blain lledwern in a straight line to Bon main melin. He has given to the aforesaid monks all the pasture lands within the boundaries already mentioned, both in wood and plain, and in all places, freely and quietly, well and peaceably, and to possess them without any exaction or secular custom with everlasting right, so that no other monks or nuns might have any proprietorial or common right within afore-mentioned bounds except the monks of Cumhyr to whom, at the request of the monks of Stradmarchell, he has granted pastures between the Corf and the Eynniaun, and except the monks of Kemmer to whom, likewise with the consent of the monks of Stradmarchell, he has granted Lloidarth and Cumketlli on the other side of the river. He therefore wishes that the often-mentioned monks of Stradmarchell may possess all the aforesaid pasturage within the afore-named bounds, except the parts already mentioned, fully and completely, with everlasting right. And so that his grant might be regarded by all as firm and binding in the future, he has made it secure beforehand with the protection of the present writing and by the attestation of witnesses.
