'Three platforms which may represent the site of the long lost Hafod yr Abad, one of the four hafodau of the Cwmystwyth monastic grange. 17th and 18th century sources in NLW name Hafod yr Abad along with Nant y Gafod and Diliw, which are both a short distance to the north of these platforms. During a visit by RPS, LA and Richard Hankinson of CPAT in May 1998, it was noted that an old trackway connects the area of the Allt platforms with Nant y Gafod. RPS August 1998.
The site lies within an area of rough grazing land; mainly grassland but with rushes and some bracken present. A wide band of bracken lies a short distance outside the platform to the east (January 2008).'
