Rhulen

Rhulen is a hamlet and former parish in Powys, Wales. It was a civil parish, and after 1974 a community, until it was abolished on 1 April 1983. At the 1971 census, the last before the parish was abolished, it had a population of 28.
The parish was in the historic county of Radnorshire. Its name is attested as Ruylnynnan in 1232 and as Ryulan around 1291. In the mid-16th century it was spelt Rulen or Riwlen, closer to the current spelling. The name likely comes from rhiw and glan.
The church in Rhulen is dedicated to St David.
