Brachiopod‐dominated assemblages from the Allt y Clych conglomerate near Llanafan Fawr provide good evidence for a Silurian (Lower Llandovery) age. The conglomerates are interpreted as mass flow deposits and are related to the revised stratigraphy of Davies (1980) by emendation of some of the author's previous interpretations.
