In 1868, the parish of Llandyfeisant contained the following places:

"LLANDYFEISANT, (or Llandefeyson), a parish in the hundred of Cayo, county Carmarthen, 1 mile W. of Llandilo Fawr, its post town, and 13 miles E. of Carmarthen. It is a small agricultural village. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of St. David's. The church is said to have been built on the site of a Roman temple. Near this spot coins and other relics relating to that period have been found. Here is a spring which rises and falls twice daily, called by the people Nant-y-Rheibis, or the charmed spring. Some ruins of Dynevor Castle are to be seen, near which is Newton Park, the seat of Lord Dynevor.
