Description
A farmstead complex which appears to have been carved out of common land, lying on south facing slopes above the Nant Y Bai valley and facing the Nant-y-mwyn lead mine remains located on the opposite side of the river. It is marked and named on the Ordnance Survey first edition (Ordnance Survey Carmarthenshire 6" to 1 mile Sheet X NW; 1891). Marked, but no longer named on the second edition Ordnance Survey map of 1906, it appears to have been abandoned by this time. On the ground the farmstead is visible as reasonably well preserved tumbled stone walls, with four associated field enclosures defined by low banks, surrounding the dwelling, with surviving evidence of associated cultivation ridges including NPRN 245016. The farmstead is orientated east - west. It has two cells, the larger measuring 11m x 5.5m externally, and the smaller at the west end measuring 6.4m x 5.1m externally.
