RCAHMW LIDAR survey has revealed evidence immediately to the east of the farm (NPRN 415186) of two large conjoined rectangular platforms, 46 m by 40 m. The western platform appears to have been constructed partly overlying the eastern platform. Such an arrangement in the uplands of Wales could be interpreted as a deserted rural settlement and associated small field, and therefore it is possible that here we are dealing with an earlier, possibly medieval farmstead, which was abandoned, with the present settlement focus 30 m to the west.
