Scope and content
A slate containing an account for Strata Florida's grange of Hafodwen, inscribed with the names of eighteen tenants, fifteen on one side and a further three on the reverse, apparently recording, in 'tr[uggs]', the dues (probably of oats or oatmeal) payable to the abbey; a trugg was a dry measure equivalent to two bushels. Also inscribed on the reverse is a drawing of a man wearing a comb or a crown, with his tongue protruding.
For a transcript see E. D. Jones, 'Ysgriflechi Cymraeg Ystrad Fflur', in Llên Cymru, 1 (1950), 1-6 (p. 2); this however omits the record for one of the tenants, namely 'dd. vyr viij tr.' (third line from the top).
