History

Datestone of 1777 and initials TV relate to the Vaughan family of Tretower, former owners of nearby Cathedine Fawr. Vaughan Poppy attributes rebuilding programme involving house, barn and stable range to Thomas Vaughan; stable range reportedly re-roofed after fire. Paired threshing floors are relatively rare and denote the prosperity of the farm and area.

Attached range with datestone 1777 has a blocked carriage arch and altered door on side facing house; pitching door in gable end. Opposite to N is a small stone building now derelict possibly a former house.
