In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Yscir like this:
Yscir-Fawr and Yscir-fechan, 2 hamlets, Merthyr-Cynog par., Brecknockshire, on the Yscir, 11 miles NW. of Brecknock; the Yscir rises on Mynydd Epynt, and flows 12 miles SE. to the Usk at Aberyscir, 2½ miles NW. of Brecknock.
Yscir is now part of POWYS District. Click here for graphs and data of how POWYS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Yscir itself, go to Statistics.
