Dist:0.2km<br/>The pub faces the road intersection that the village is named for: on the right is the A478 old turnpike route heading towards Cardigan, left the minor road to Mynachclogddu. Roads also run west and east at this point. Although this is on the surface this looks a somewhat dull, flat landscape it has important prehistoric and historic roots: there is a multiplicity of Neolithic and Bronze Age remains in the area still visible, and in the Middle Ages the land (much of it owned by the Cistercians at Whitland Abbey) was held under Welsh systems of tenure and farmed communally. "Sixteenth-century leases make it clear that tenants were practising common pasturage and the survival of arian y mynydd or 'mountain silver', a payment for grazing rights, with a diversity of rents, in both cash, kind and service, suggests that they correspond with earlier villein obligations, when most of the tenants were also bound to do boon work for the monastery." Some of the moorland here remained unenclosed until the C19. See Archaeology in Wales http://www.cambria.org.uk/HLC/Preseli/area/area265.htm
