Yes, but it had a rather solid foundation. Wales holds loads and loads of fossils, and they are often exposed naturally by erosion along the Coastlines. The bones of some dinosaurs would easily feed a dragon myth. A few hundred years of fossil "explanations" can build a rather compelling creature in myths and legends, and as Wales had loads of bones and storytellers the dragon myth became very, very strong.
