The string of gobbledy-gook is the way the place name is pronounced by the Welsh - it's even more gobbledy-gook if anyone else tries tries pronounce it.
According to a book "Know Britain - The Heritage and Institutions of an Offshore Island" by Francis K Mason and Martin Windrow published in 1972, it actually means "The Church of St Mary in a hollow of white hazel near to a rapid whirlpool and to St Tysilio's Church near to a red cave", but "Burger King" is close enough :-D.
