This village, the first south of Cardigan, is usually known as Penybryn (without the hyphens) but take care not to link to Penybryn in North Wales or elsewhere in Wales. It is also sometime listed as Pen y Bryn (with spaces, but no hyphens). If anyone knows what it should be, please say! Thanks. By the way, the Penybryn Arms is a lovely pub.
I'm a novice, so just looking to avoid confusion. Pembrokeshire County Council refer to it as Penybryn as do the road signs and the locals. At the same time, I know it's incorrect Welsh. Interesting. Sorry I forgot to sign original comment

How about some more sections, such as
Origins
Military use
Changes of alignment
Bridges
Old Maps
20th C Maps
Traffic types over the years
Inns

On a technical note, if you want to make a vertical list, use an asterisk at the beginning of each line.
To answer your suggestion, I'm not sure. I looked at
A40 road (as was suggested to me) and
A477 road and they both look rather intense in a way. Perhaps it should develop slowly, but that's only my gut feeling. I know a lot about the road - I use it all the time - but finding citations might be difficult. This much I can tell you:
Origins - some originally a drover's road from Ireland (Cardigan used to be a port), later a turnpike and a route used by mail coaches
Military use - probably some during WW2
Changes of alignment - nothing major that I know of, just some bends straightened out
Bridges - a few, but none notable so far as I know
Traffic types - in recent years, HGVs not allowed out of Fishguard (ferries) to the NW, so use A40/A478 to get to Cardigan and beyond; "buzz" road for bikers in summer with some fatalities, otherwise local and holiday traffic - and loads of tractors
Inns - I can think of about a dozen between Cardigan and the A40 (none with their own article so far as I know), but south of that, not sure.
My slightly earlier map only shows a single disused quarry on a sector to the north of the summit, so perhaps rather than saying '... boundary to Carmarthenshire and passes a viewpoint near the summit of the extensively-quarried Carn Wen, where it reaches its highest altitude of 260 metres (850 ft), extensively should be replaced by onetime or previously or partly.

The quarry is no longer disused. "extensively-quarried" is correct - they have removed a considerable proportion of the hilltop, which is clearly visible from the road, and on Google maps. I've been looking for a citation. The whole sentence could do with clarifying, though, and I understand your confusion.
