Glogue Farm is situated approximately a mile from Tegryn, on the northern banks of the Taf river. According to heritage consultancy Trysor, 'Glogue Farm is shown on the Ordnance Survey's Original Surveyors Drawings Cardigan map sheet, surveyed in 1810. This was the first detailed map of the whole country and shows that the farm already existed. Although this map did not include a detailed depiction of contemporary field systems, it clearly shows that the area was already enclosed and divided into fields by this date. When the Ordnance Survey published their 1 inch to 1 mile scale First Series map for the area 1819, based on the 1810 survey, the same picture is presented.'
'The first detailed map of Glogue farm and its field system is the Clydau parish tithe map of 1841. This shows that the essential characteristics of the farm were already in place by this time, with the fields at Glogue farm recognisable when compared with the modern field system. At this time Glogue Farm was owned and occupied by one John Morris.'
'One of the most significant changes to the landscape since 1841 has been the construction of a road in the nineteenth century between Tegryn and Glogue which passes along the southern edge of some of Glogue Farm's fields.
