Mwnt was the site of an unsuccessful invasion by Flemings in 1155. Its defeat was celebrated, at least in the eighteenth century, by a games meeting on the first Sunday in January known as Sul Coch y Mwnt (Red Sunday of Mwnt), commemorating the blood shed on that day.
Within living memory human bones and skeletons have been exposed in the area.
A nearby brook is called Nant y Fflymon (Flemings' Brook)
