the county-town of Radnorshire, in South Wales, seated near the spring head of the river Somergill, in a pleasant valley, at the foot of a hill which feeds abundance of sheep and cattle; and on the top of it was seated a castle, long since in ruins. This town is governed by a capital council, consisting of 25 persons and the recorder, out of whom are chosen yearly a bailiff and two aldermen. It sends one member to parliament.
