Spotted a misspelling. (pont)(rhyd)y(groes) literally (bridge)(ford)(cross)..Pontrhydygoes. Pronounced: Pont Rid' uh groys.

The "forts" in Wales share Caer as a prefix.

Many cities bear the name Fairfield. I was traveling through Wales one afternoon and observed the name "Maesteg". That is the Welsh version. (maes - field) (teg - fair).

If you understand both Welsh and French, the Breton language appears as a mix of the two.
