History

Careg-yn-fol farm was built in the second quarter of the C19 by James Watt of Doldowlod House and represents the agricultural improvements initiated by Watt on his estate. A mixed arable and livestock farm, the buildings were laid out in unusual fashion with the barn and cow house at a splayed angle in front of the house, a layout also adopted by the estate at nearby Erwbant Farm.
