'The Trwyn is a farm on the left hand side of the Valley of the Gwyddon, as you ascend it from Abergwyddon...It is reported that a servant girl, who attended to the cattle belonging to this farm, was in the habit of taking out a bowl of fresh milk and a slice of white bread, which she placed on a certain spot for "Master Pwka", but one evening she ate the white bread and drank the milk, and substituted coarse bread and very inferior beverage. The basin was returned with the meal untouched, and the next time the girl passed the lonely spot she felt herself taken hold of, she fancied, by human hands under the arm pits, and no very sparing castigation inflicted upon her, with a clear indication, in plain Welsh, of the nature of her offence, with appropriate warnings against its repetition. This is thoroughly believed in there to this day' (Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1875).
