N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

The only similar-named site I could find is Cymorgan, Carmarthenshire, S of Newcastle Emlyn at SN2934. No cliffs on the map, though very steep-sided valleys.

It's either a very badly written 'Cwm Irfon' or Ley-welsh 'Cwm ygarn' (cf nearby Pen y Garn).
