Manuscript poem, 1848, in an unknown hand, entitled 'Aber-Conway or a Gleaning from Cambrian History', concerning the tribulations of Eleanor de Montfort, wife of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (ff. 2-39). It is apparently unpublished.
The poem is subdivided into four Cantos, with Canto III also including 'Llewellyn's Song' (ff. 28-29 verso). It is preceded by an introduction, possibly in a different hand, which confuses Llywelyn ap Gruffydd with his grandfather Llywelyn the Great (f. 1 verso). The poem is dated 29 June 1848, and signed by means of a monogram, possibly 'SJ' or 'JS' (f. 39). There are minor emendations throughout, mostly in ink.
