Just came across this page after (as a Welsh speaker) the owner of this property asked me what the name Bodran meant - possibly something of further research interest to you? http://www.gwilimill.com The actual property address is Bodran Felin, Llanpumsaint SA33 6BY, United Kingdom (no idea if original name?) Felin - Welsh for 'mill' ...perhaps it's more likely that historically this is a family name tied to the property or area, I don't know...but what chance Bodran is a Welsh mutation/ spelling of Bodhran, and this was once a location where (materials for?) these instruments were made..?
