Act so = (Llan)dovery...act = do and so = very. One of the place-names as per the preamble. See also (Llan)twit Major, as mentioned above.

Many thanks JMR27 and Quizmonster.

There are four unclued occurences of Llan within and without the crossword grid.

One of my other solutions is wrong making dejected correct.
