1. Pre 1796 - a type of summerhouse.
21.Gazebo SN 7696 7350 approx (pre-1796). This gazebo [the Mossy Seat] was found on the gravel path north from Peiran bridge to Pwllpeiran falls. A favourite resting point for visitors contemplating the cascades, it was much appreciated during the early 1800s (Kerkham 1978, 269). The structure was entered from the south through a small arch, leading into a square building, there having been a seating arrangement inside, to the right, giving the visitor a view of the falls (Plumptre loc cit fo 163). A wooden bridge adjoined the gazebo. Probably constructed of two large tree trunks, with a rough wooden handrail similar to other rustic bridges described and illustrated on the walks, it was thrown across the Peiran at this point and led a gravel path through oak woods down to Tyloge Bridge (Cumberland 1796, 16; Smith 1810, 12, Pl V; Malkin 1804, 345).

Excavated by K Murphy for Cambria Archaeology during late '90s and report forthcoming.
