This may be a complete nonsequitor, however I remember that not far from
Llanberis on the road toward Bangor was an outcropping of flat rock that
was pointed out to me as having the local name of Bedd Gelert, or the bed
(resting place) of Gelert. My enfeabled recollection (this was some 25
years ago) was that the story associated with it had to do with a dog named
Gelert who died in the process of some heroic dead on behalf of his master.
I may of course be conflating two different stories or it might be simply
that the story represented an explanation created after the original
association was forgotten.
