The Landsker near Bigws, Ambleston The minor road that runs east-west across the picture is the "traditional" Landsker (the language boundary), as described by George Owen in the sixteenth century. By the end of the nineteenth century, the parish of Ambleston to the south had become almost exclusively Welsh-speaking, and this "re-cymricisation" may have been under way in George Owen's time. The road is actually the old "Roman" road towards St David's, and was the northern boundary of the hundred of Daugleddy, so it was more a de jure administrative boundary than a de facto cultural boundary. The real boundary has moved around, and was probably a good deal further north in the fourteenth century, when villages like Henry's Moat and New Moat were English plantations.
