a town of Merionethshire, in north Wales. It is seated on a rock, on the sea-shore; and is but a poor place, though the shire-town, and sends a member to parliament. It had formerly a strong handsome castle, which was a garrison for Charles I. in the civil wars, for which reason it was afterwards demolished by the parliament. W. Long. 4. o. N. Lat. 54. 47.
