1812
Boderdern
Account given by the late Rev. W. Johnson, Rector of Llanfethle, Anglesey, written out for me by his daughter Mrs. Vincent and confirmed as correct by her brother, Canon Johnson, - C. E, Isham. June 1889;-
"My father has more than once told me and all his children, that when he was an undergraduate at Trinity College, Dublin, about 1812, he was returning after winter vacation from his mother's house in Anglesey by a night boat leaving Holyhead. He was riding along the Old post road, and just after passing the village of Boderdern, at the corner of field belonging to Mynydd-y-Got (the smith's mount), just where a cross road from Llanddensant joins the main road, he saw a considerable light, and looking over the stone wall he saw a little man playing the fiddle, and several other little men and women dancing. I think he also said there was a fire. Being in a hurry for his boat he did not stop. I do not remember whether he said they vanished or he rode on. He was always a very true-spoken man, and merely told the thing to us as a curious fact.
