Description
Drefach is a small village situated on the A475, between Lampeter and Newcastle Emlyn, about a mile north of Llanybydder. The men of the parish who fell during the Great War are commemorated on the War Memorial which sits in the village alongside the main road, on the south side of A475. The memorial, of c.1922, was probably made by E. Jones of Llanybydder and is similar to those at Aberbanc and Cribyn, Ceredigion, and Pencader, Carmarthenshire. Listed for special historical interest.
White marble statue of soldier at ease with rifle by right side and left leg slightly raised on cannon. Standing on bi-colour granite tall pedestal. A grey plinth, two-step with moulded top and affixed pink granite 1939-45 memorial plaques. Battered pink granite shaft with inscription to front and names to sides and big grey granite corniced cap chamfered back to square plinth for statue. (Cadw Listing d/base).
