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.

Craig Rhiwarth I think.

The Craig Rhiwarth I have located is in the north of Montgomeryshire, beyond Lake Vyrnwy, and far from Ley's usual area - does anyone have a better map ref?

it could be SN844157 in Breconshire.

I think we need to be careful about guessing about amiguous locations, so I'm glad you've asked about this sheet. It's really tempting to try to pin down a grid-reference for every vague label, but accuracy is more important than precision, so where there is a lot of room for doubt it's better to have a location left unset (i.e. just recorded verbatim in the locality notes) than wrongly ascribed to a completely spurious locality.
