Sáerlaith Conwy

Sáerlaith - Mari's Irish Annals has a single instance, dated 969 - https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/all.shtml
Need a later date to go with Conwy (unless find a pre-1269 date for Conwy)

Conwy castle - there exists a petition mentioning Conwy castle, by this spelling, dated to 1378-1390
Apparently, Edward I started building Conwy Castle in 1283. Before that, there was a monastery at that place, which

historians call Aberconwy. This was on the bank of the Conwy River.

Need a date earlier than 1269 to go with Saerlaith, unless find a later date than 969 for Saerlaith.

MI Gaelic and Welsh are a compatible lingual mix per SENA Appendix C
MI Gaelic and Welsh are not in the same language family, so elements need to be within 300 years of each other, ibid
