A tree known as Derwen Ceubren yr Ellyl (hollow tree of the demons/spirits) used to stand in Nannau Park and it had a reputation of being haunted and evil, for this is the tree in which Owain Glyndwr was, according to legend, supposed to have hidden the body of his cousin Hywel Sele, 8th Lord of Nannau after he had killed him in 1404. It is said they were out hunting together in Nannau after Owain had come to make amends with his cousin. Owain had rebelled against England, whilst Hywel stayed loyal to the crown. Hywel is said to have seen a deer and drew back an arrow. As the deer moved he turned with his bow to track the animal, in fact he turned so much he found himself aiming at Owain. Glyndwr thought he was about to be shot, drew his sword and ran Hywel through. Other accounts have Hywel shooting Owain who is saved by his armour (hunting in armour?) and he is killed in self defence. One version of the story has Hywel being imprisoned in the tree and left there to die whilst Owain decided to burn down his house.
