Wrthwl, Gwrthwl and Mwthwl

This is from Theophilus Jones' 1809 "A history of the county of Brecknock" available here:

"It is dedicated, according to Ecton, to Mwthwl. Where he or Brown Willis found out this Saint we know not; from his garb he should seem to be British, but the Welsh will not acknowledge him : in the Triads indeed, we have a personage to whom our very early ancestors own themselves indebted for the art of building in stone and mortar, but he is supposed to live so soon after the deluge that nothing but absolute necessity, and the want of an accredited, patron for the parish would induce us to drag him from his obscurity. He is called Morddal Gwr Gweilgi, or Morddal the man of the ocean, and though it would be too much to insist with pertinacity upon the existence of such a person, it is by no means improbable that a stranger from the continent might have taught the Britons masonry, that out of gratitude for the comforts he conferred, his memory may have been revered, and that even a church was dedicated to him, though he lived before the Christian era. From Morddal to Mwrthwl, a hammer, the transition is easy, and we then have a Saint for this parish ; in what degree of estimation he is now held by the inhabitiants, we have no authority to state."
