Memorial stone

The standing stone at the road junction has been placed in memory of residents of the neighbourhood who have died over the past 60 years or so. Most are named after their farms, in the traditional Welsh way.

Capel Ebeneser

The first chapel here was built in 1768 but it was rebuilt in the C19. It stands isolated but very visible in a tiny rural hamlet and probably attracted worshippers from the scattered farms some distance around. The old slate gravestones are regimented into neat lines.

Pembrokeshire bank and tyres

The banks in the northern part of the county are often seen to have been constructed with stones laid in this herringbone fashion. The old tyres belong to a silage clamp that has been opened in the adjacent farmyard.
