Heol y Geifr, hen ffordd a arwain lan at eglwys a phentre Llangyfelach. Bu Ffair Llangyfelach a gynhelid ar y 1af o Fis Mawrth yn enwog iawn. Pentyrra pobl o bell ac agos iddi ac mae enw'r hewl o bosibl yn deillio o'r cyfnod hwnnw. Mae'r hewl eisioes wedi ei hisraddio i lwybr. Heol y Geifr (trans. Goats Road) leading up the church and village of Llangyfelach (trans. Cyfelach's church). A famous fair, held annually on 1st March, was formerly held at Llangyfelach which drew people to it from far and wide and the naming of this road possibly derives from that period. The old thoroughfare has long been downgraded to a mere footpath.
