Note: Good source, but there is not mention of any Idwallan son of Einon - need page #
The second edition Ordnance Survey map (1899) shows ‘Pant Câd-Einion Site of Battle (A.D.982)’ at SS 9494 8059. This is absent from the first edition map of 1877. The battle was likely added on the basis of material found in the unreliable Gwentian Brutforged by Iolo Morgannwg in the 1790s.
982 Einion, son of Owain, went to Gorwennydd, where the action of Pencoed Colwynn took place
(Owen, 35).
How Pencoed Colwynn became Pant Câd-Einion is uncertain. (same source)
