As a toponome if not a settlement, Llechryd may have earlier origins - it has been tentatively identified with the ‘Llech-y-crau’, recorded in 1088 as a battle-site and which was clearly a recognised location, and this area lies within a division of Is-Hirwern commote, Gwestfa Camros, which may have pre-Norman origins.
The crossing was clearly the impetus for the development of a medieval settlement in the form of a vill which, unusually for the region, appears to have developed into a nucleation at an early date.
Llechryd is a small, built up historic landscape character area lying on the gently sloping north bank of the Afon Teifi between 10m and 50m above sea level.
