Notes

The name of a settlement is usually written as one word in order to distinguish between settlements and topographical features.
The hyphen is used in Welsh place-names to show that the stress does
not fall on the penultimate syllable. The stress falls on the final syllable of this name and therefore the final syllable is preceded by a hyphen.
