Cymharer George Owen’s Description of Penbrokeshire iii. (1906) 222-3, It is called on the old 1-in. Ordnance Map Rhydd Hywel, and this is its present name in the district; but the older name is Hirddywel. See the poem of Llygad Gwr’s in Myv. Arch. I, 373, Gee’s ed., p. 256, translated in Powys Fadog, ii, 316, where it is so spelt; Oliver Matthews’ Chronicle (as cited in Mont. Coll., ii, 69, from Hearne’s Hist. and Antiquities of Glastonbury, Appendix, p. 249), where it is spelt Hirrdowell; Leland’s Itin. vol. v, fo. 70, where it is spelt Herdoel.

Subject: the Rhyddhwell hills
Mae gen i gyfeiriad mewn un darn o waith at 'the Rhyddhwell hills, approximately 7 km east of Llanidloes and 12 km south of Newtown'. Dwi'n amau fod camsillafu wedi digwydd yma.
A oes bryniau Rhyd Hywel/Rhyd Howell neu fryniau ag enw tebyg yn Sir Drefaldwyn, os gwelwch yn dda?
