Ilar is a very obscure saint and few details survive apart from his name.
Surviving records name Saint Ilar as a Breton companion of Padarn and Cadfan's 6th-century mission to Wales.
He may have come from Armorica.
The parishes bearing his name are to the south of Tywyn (credited to Cadfan) but near some credited to Padarn.
As a martyr, he may have been killed by the pagan Irish or Saxon invasions of the time.
