Notes

The name of a settlement is usually written as one word in order to distinguish between settlements and topographical features. 

The hyphen is used in Welsh place-names in order to aid pronunciation by showing that stress does not fall on the penultimate syllable. The stress falls on the final syllable of this name and therefore the final syllable is preceded by a hyphen.
