Ruin near Aber Bach The ruined cottage is located by the path to Aber Bach beach between Garn Barcud and Aber-bach cottages, on the north side of the valley above Felin Fawr (Great Mill). This is the front view of the ruin which was abandoned around the late 19th century. It is not marked on present OS maps, but on the 1889 OS map (1:2500), the name Temple appears between Garn Barcud and Aber-bach. In the 19th century census returns for the parish of Granston, the name Pantyffynnon appears between Garn Barcud and Aber-bach cottage entries. The last record of occupants living in Temple or Pantyffynnon was in the 1881 census.
