At a lonely crossroads up on a ridge. From an internet search it appears that Sarnicol is a Bardic name (pen-name), which was the name of the cottage at Capel Cynon in which the poet was born. He was a schoolmaster, and one of his works is 'Dic Sion Dafydd'. Each mulish fault, save one alone: A quotation from this is “Dic somehow got, that prince of fools, A vast vile progeny of mules”.
