CEIRCHIOG, a parish, in the hundred of Llyvon, union and county of Anglesey, North Wales, 4 miles (S. E.) from Bôdedern; containing 162 inhabitants.
This parish is situated on the road leading from Bangor to Holyhead, and is bounded on the north by Llandrygarn, on the east by Llanbeulan, on the south by Llanvaelog, and on the south and south-west by Llêchylched. It comprises by computation 624 acres, which are nearly all under tillage, the pasture being of small extent and of very inferior quality.
The name of the place is said to be descriptive of the produce of the soil, which is well adapted to the culture of oats, great quantities of which are grown in the parish and in the adjacent district. The feoffees of Beaumaris grammar school are the chief landowners, and the Bishop of Bangor is lord of the manor.
The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llanbeulan: the church, dedicated to the Holy Rood, is situated on an eminence in a large field on the south side of the road, and is a very small ancient structure. A rentcharge of £2. 10. was bequeathed by Sergeant Wynn, for the benefit of the poor, but it has not been paid since 1762, and there is now no trace of it, nor of the produce of a small accumulation that at one period accrued from the charity.
