Glan-y-Gors is likely to have been constructed in the early 19thcentury as a remote small holding, farming a small cluster of arable and pasture fields to the east. It was sited on a hillslope with impressive views across the valley towards the mountain of Gyrn Moelfre.
The upstanding stone cottage is thought to represent the south-western half of a building shown on 19th century mapping, the north-eastern half having been removed and a series of modern extensions added, despite which, the structural core of the stone cottage remains intact.
While the cottage retains local vernacular character through its construction and layout, key original features such as the fire places have been blocked and the chimneys have been removed. The wooden staircase is surviving along with a series of earlier floor coverings.
