Map of Michaelston-le-Pit, Dinas Powys, UK
To the south lies Penarth, while to the south west lies the village of Dinas Powys.
The village is built near the confluence of two small streams, which join to form the Cadoxton River. The French suffix is possibly derived from a clay pit near the southern end of the village, it having been settled on a Norman family, the De Raneghs, after the conquest.
Llanfihangel-y-pwll means The Church of St Michael and All Angels of the Pool or Pit. It is not to be confused with Latin suffixed Michaelston-super-Ely or Welsh suffixed Michaelstone y Fedw
