The Plough / Seven Stars as Pub names

I wonder if the following applies to the Seven Stars Inn at Aberedw. Perhaps someone can enquire and let us know on the Radnorshire - Sir Faesyfed CAMRA Branch visit on July 6th 2024. 'The Plough is the fifth most common pub name in Britain and the most popular not to involve heraldry. Particularly popular in agricultural areas, the name probably marks a pub close to where the community plough was kept. Some artists used the constellation of Ursa Major, commonly known as the plough, as an illustration on the sign instead—some of these pubs found their name evolving into the Seven Stars.'
