Rhygenydd the Cleric (Welsh: Rhygenydd Ysgolhaig) was a cleric of possible Roman or British origin.
In Welsh mythology, Rhygenydd was said to have a magical vat or crock and dish, that whatever food might be wished for, would appear within.[1] The crock and dish's design was later replicated on a tablet made from a precursor material, and was later found inside Wiccan's Cave in Eurviscire.[2]
