The name is derived from the Welsh word for buzzard - bwncath.
The village stands at a cross-roads linking the nearby settlements of Newchapel (Capelnewydd), Eglwyswrw, Blaenffos and Bwlch-y-groes. Formerly a hamlet around an inn, the village developed after the coming of the Whitland to Cardigan railway in 1885.
