"LLANGATTOCK, a parish in the hundred of Crickhowoll, county Brecon, 1 mile W. of Crickhowell, its post town, and 11 miles S.E. of Brecknock. It is situated on the banks of the river Usk, opposite the town of Crickhowell, a bridge connecting the two parishes. The Brecon canal passes through this parish, which includes the parcels of Penallt, Prisk, and Kille. In 728 the Saxons, under Ethelbald, were defeated by the Britons in this neighbourhood. Here are collieries, and the extensive Beaufort iron works, affording employment to many of the people, as well as' limestone quarries. ...
