Cofiwch Epynt graffiti at the obelisk memorial to Prince Llewelyn, Cilmery, Powys, Wales, (Engl. 'Remember Epynt') April 2019
One of a number of graffiti responses around Wales to the vandalism of the original Cofiwch Dryweryn graffiti on a wall beside the A487 near to Llanrhystud, Aberystwyth. The words "Cofiwch Dryweryn" were originally painted by journalist and author, Meic Stephens, at a time of nationalist unrest following the decision to drown the village of Capel Celyn (Tryweryn Valley) to create a reservoir for Liverpool City Council in the early 1960s. The wall has been subject to vandalism on a number of recent occasions. Cofiwch Epynt refers to the Epynt clearance of 1939 when the Ministry of Defence compulsorily purchased thousands of acres of land, forcing the dispersal of the Welsh speaking farming community.
