Site Status: No Site Status Description: The earliest reference to Glanhirin appears in a document dating to 1696 (Banks, 1880, 49) although there is no indication as to how long it had existed before that date. is shown on the 1833 1 inch to 1 mile map as a building with a long straight rectangular parcel of land to the east and a field beyond. On the Llansanffraid Cwmteuddwr parish tithe map of 1841 it is shown as two fields, Bryn Bychan and Bryn Llwyd with the building external to Bryn Llwyd. At that time it was owned by Henry Pulham Clinton, Duke of Newcastle, and, according to the 1841 census, tenanted by Rees and Margaret Lewis. By the time of the 1st edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of 1891, the two fields have been subsumed into a larger, more rectilinear field system, closer to the field system in existence today. Since the late 19th century the farm has been part of the estate formed by the Birmingham Corporation when the Elan Valley reservoirs were created. Erwyd Howells writes about Glanhirin in his 2005 book “Good Men and True” giving some stories about its former tenants. In 2009 Glanhirin was still occupied and farmed by tenants.
In the 19th century and early 20th century access to the post medieval farmstead was by a trackway, NPRN 503528. The modern access track, NPRN 502704, was built by the Elan estate in the later 20th century. The field system NPRN 503509 developed during the mid 19th century to resemble the field system in existence today. A group of possible pillow mounds, NPRN 24595, now badly damaged, lie within the modern field system. Two other previously recorded groups of pillow mounds, NPRNs 24596 and 304802, were discounted as natural features during Upland Survey in 2009. The farmyard now consists of the farmhouse, NPRN 503532, and adjoining stone-built building, NPRN 503600, as well as more recent agricultural buildings, NPRN 503597, 503598 and 503599.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: Aberglanhirin is an upland farm with its farmhouse and outbuildings situated on the southern side of the upper Elan valley. It has historically been part of the Cwm Elan Estate and remains under the ownership of the Welsh Water Elan Estate. The present house is a 20th century bungalow, with the 19th century farmhouse now used as an outbuilding, part of an L-shaped range which also includes a stable, two-bay threshing barn and a cow house. The second edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of 1903 shows that some small additions were made to this range by the early 20th century, and another outbuilding was built to the east. This latter building has been largely demolished, although the lower portions of its walls are maintained as a fold or enclosure at the edge of the farmyard. The main building range survives in good condition and is used for agricultural purposes.
It is likely that this L-shaped range dates to the second-half of the 19th century and replaced or incorporated an earlier building or buildings. Two buildings are depicted on the 1833 1 inch to 1 mile Ordnance Survey map, but neither building is L-shaped. It should be noted that the large field enclosure attached to Aberglanhirin (NPRN 502605) is shown on the 1833 map.
Little is known of the early history of the farmstead. The earliest known documentary references to Aberglanhirin include the will of Thomas Pugh of Aberglanhirin, written in 1802. Pugh died in 1808 and left a relatively valuable estate worth £1378 to his children, including cattle, horses and sheep, some of the latter noted as being depastured on Moelcrychion and Bryn Suog, to the north of the Elan river.

Some 30m to the northeast of this pair of pillow mound is a large building platform, NPRN 502521, dissected by the road line. It is possible that the rabbit warren on Esgair y Ty is associated with this platform. If that were the case the proximity of the pair of pillow mounds to the platform may indicate that they were reserved for breeding does, built close to the warrener’s house, a pattern which is known to have occurred on medieval and early post medieval rabbit farms.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A denuded long hut, which has two internal cells. The building is reduced to low, earth and stone wall bases, no more than 0.4m high and as much as 1.5m wide at the gable ends. It is on a north-northeast to south-southwest alignment, measuring 10m long by 5m wide. The terrace is slightly larger, being 12m long and up to 7m wide, with the west-northwestern edge cut into the hillslope. There is evidence of a low bank enclosing three sides of the terrace, presumably some form of drainage hood, with the east-southeast side being left open. The entrance(s) must have been in the east-southeast side, but are no longer visible.
There is a well-preserved earthwork enclosure, NPRN 502684, approximately 10m to the northeast and some evidence of lazy bed cultivation, NPRN 502685, approximately 150m to the south-southwest. Aerial photographs seem to show that there may also be denuded cultivation ridges on the natural terrace on which this long hut and associated enclosure sit, but this was not evident on the ground when visited in 2009, despite low sunlight.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: Eight pillow mounds on a generally southeast facing slope called Esgair y Ty. When visited in May 2009 the site was in an area of rough grazing where the vegetation was grass and bracken. The largest of the mounds is approximately 40m long, the shortest approximately 9m. All are in a good state of preservation and obvious landscape features. Six of the pillow mounds are on the hillslope to the north of the modern Cwmystwyth to Rhayader road (which follows the line of the late 18th century turnpike road and an earlier road). Two others lie side by side to the south of the road, possibly detached for a specific reason, as they are located close to a large building platform, NPRN 502521, first noted in 2009. This platform has been dissected by the road, but either side of the road there is evidence of a building that stood on the platform.
It may be speculated that there was a house here that may have served as the warrener’s house associated with the rabbit warren. The pair of pillow mounds to the south of the road and close to the building platform could conceivably have been reserved for breeding does, hence their separation from the main pillow mound group on the higher slopes.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: This unusual site includes four small monoliths or standing stones with perhaps four other stones laying flat. It is not clear whether the stones represent the remains of a stone circle, or are merely boundary or marker stones. The place name Bwlch y Ddau-faen (Pass of Two Stones) suggests that at least two of the stones have been recognised for some centuries. The site lies on a parish and medieval commote boundary and an important cross-mountain trackway also runs through the pass here. The largest stone stands up to 0.9 metres high and it is evident that the four erect stones are likely to have been deliberately erected. Despite a survey by CPAT in 2011, it is still not clear what the purpose of the stones may be, although CPAT concluded that the site is not that of a stone circle.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: Bodtalog farmstead has origins as an upland farm in post medieval times. It is mapped on 19th century Ordnance Survey maps, which show a house and outbuilding within a small field system. By the early 21st century the earlier field system, which was defined by earthwork banks, has largely been supplanted by new field parcels defined by post and wire fences, rarely respecting the old field boundaries and enclosing a larger area. The 19th century house and outbuilding survive, but two larger farm buildings have been added to the south of the original farmyard. As an upland farm, the bulk of the land under the management of Bodtalog is an extensive upland pasture to the north of the main Cwmystwyth to Rhayader road. The holding has been in the management of the Elan Estate since the late 19th century and occupied by tenant farmers.

The central section of the site has been lost as a result, but the upper and lower ends, including the platform hood and apron, survive as well as what appear to be the wall foundations of a building which stood on the platform, particularly at the southern end. Overall, the platform was approximately 35m north to south by 21.5m. It seems likely that a substantial building stood on the platform, possibly a house. The adjacent hill is known as Esgair y Ty, the reference to a house (Ty) may be derived to this site. On Esgair y Ty itself, a group of 8 pillow mounds survive, which may have been associated with this site (two of the pillow mounds are located close to the platform, to the south of the modern road. An extensive area of cultivation across Esgair y Ty may equally be associated with the site, although their relationship with the pillow mounds in unclear. When visited in May 2009 vegetation cover was grass. Form of Evidence: EarthworkCondition: Near Destroyed Current land use: Built Over; Rough Pasture Confidence in Record?: High Verified in the field. Evidential Value: Earthwork Group Value: Appears to be associated with Rabbit Warren NPRN304835 Historical Value: None Aesthetic Value: None Communal Value: None Setting: This large platform probably represents the site of the Warrener's House in the Esgair y Ty Rabbit Warren complex. It lies near the bottom of the southern flank of the hill and has been partly built over by the Rhayader to Cwmystwyth road, formerly a turnpike road, which runs across the centre of the platform. Accessibilty: At the roadside Rarity: Not CommonSignificance: Nationally Important
Known Threat?: YesLevel of Threat: High Type of Threat: Development Road widening would destroy what remains of this platform. Management Recommendation: Excavate the remaining parts of the platform.

It is generally 3m wide at base and up to 0.5m high, with a slight ditch on its western side, which becomes more pronounced towards the north as the bank runs towards a natural rill on the northern flank of Gwar y Ty, which it eventually joins. This bank joins another bank on Gwar y Ty (NPRN 502548) at its southern end at SN8965574268. The two banks appear to be a land boundary, perhaps defining a large parcel of land on Gwar y Ty and Rhiw Afon.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A structure shown on the 1st edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of 1888 (Radnorshire) and named as "Sheepfold". It is evident that the sheep fold has been built on top of an earlier structure, quite possibly a long hut. The standing structure, which corresponds with the sheep fold shown on the early Ordnance Survey maps, measures 6m east-west by 4.5m, with walls 0.9m thick and up to 1m high. Underlying this structure is a larger rectilinear structure, reduced to wall bases where it has not been built over by the sheep fold. This structure measures 9.5m north-south by 6m and may have been a two-celled building, probably a long hut, NPRN 502588, the northern cell now lying beneath the sheep fold.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: This denuded earthwork bank still measures 3m wide at base and up to 0.5m high. It has a shallow ditch along its southern side. It has been suggested in the past that it may be a medieval dyke, possibly marking a manorial boundary. However, when visited for the Uplands Initiative project in 2009, it was observed that this bank runs east-southeast to west-northwest from Rhiw Afon at SN9026773974 to Gwar y Ty at SN896574268, distance of some 675m. It appears that it may well join with another earthwork bank (NPRN 502687) at SN896574268, from where the latter bank runs northwards to a natural rill at the northern edge of Gwar y Ty. The two banks appear to be a land boundary, perhaps defining a large parcel of land on Gwar y Ty and Rhiw Afon. This may well be associated with post medieval land division, rather than earlier activity. There is no evidence of this bank running further to the west.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A structure shown at this site on the 1st edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of 1888 (Radnorshire) and named as "Sheepfold" (NPRN 502503). It is evident that the sheep fold has been built on top of an earlier structure, quite possibly a long hut. The standing structure, which corresponds with the sheep fold shown on early Ordnance Survey maps, measures 6m east to west by 4.5m, with walls 0.9m thick and up to 1m high. Underlying this structure is a larger rectilinear structure, reduced to wall bases where it has not been built over by the sheep fold. The long hut measures 9.5m north to south by 6m and may have been a two-celled building, the northern cell now lying beneath the sheep fold. When visited in May 2009 the area was used for rough grazing and the surrounding vegetation cover was grass.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A large long hut, situated on a southeast-facing slope overlooking the upper Elan valley. The building was built directly onto the slope. There is slight evidence of terracing at the upper end of the structure, and perhaps a slight foundation platform beneath its lower end.. From the upper end to the lower end, the surface still falls southeastwards by almost 1 metre. The wall-bases are roughly coursed, composed of flat stone slabs, and define a structure which measures 10 metres southeast to northwest, by 5.5 metres wide. There is an entrance at a central point in the northeast lateral wall. It is notable that the northeastern half of the structure is largely stone-filled, whilst the southeastern portion is relatively stone free. This may suggest that the upper portion of the site was occupied by a structure with a large proportion of stone in its fabric, whilst the lower end of the site was clom-built.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A dam on the eastern side of Llyn Cerrigllwydion Isaf controlling water into leat NPRN 261660. The drystone dam was placed across the point where the Nant Cerrigyrhelyg exits Llyn Cerrigllwydion Isaf. It consists of stone laid up to a height of 0.50m above the ground surface. The southern section is approximately 35m south southeast to north northwest, then at the northern end it runs to the north northeast for a further 10m. It is at least 3m wide, but was partially obscured by vegetation in October 2009. Water trickles through it to the stream, but it no longer supplies water to the leat. It was built to raise or maintain the water level of the lake so that sufficient water was available for leat NPRN 261660. It presumably dates to 1876 when the leat was constructed by the New Cwm Elan mine company, according to David Bick in his 1991 book The Old Metal Mines of mid-Wales, Part 6 A Miscellany, page 21.

ELHAR ID Number: 979 MONKS WAY: CARN RICET TO RHYD HENGAE Post Medieval TRACKWAY NGR: SN8543169545- LinearCommunity: Rhayader NPRN: 503508 PRN:
Site Status: No Site Status Description: This section of the trackway or road, NPRN 23712, runs from Rhyd Hengae at SN8239368206, to Carn Ricet at SN8715370924, a distance of 6km. It is shown on the 1833 1" to 1 mile Ordnance Survey map as a road/track. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1891 it is shown as track in use and labelled “Ancient Road”. The trackway today follows the same line as shown on both these maps and is now called the Monks Way or the Monks Trod.
At Rhyd Hengae, SN8239368206, where it fords the Afon Claerwen, the track is quite broad and ill-defined with animal trampling. As it runs diagonally up the west-facing slope of Llethr Ffos To, it is a terraced path up to 4m wide but when it reaches the steeper section at SN8281768493 it narrows down to a footpath no more than 1m wide, suffering heavily from erosion. Reaching the top of the steeper slope at SN8297768546, it becomes a grass-covered, shallow “hollow way”, up to 4m wide at base. At SN8315068577, an informal modern vehicle track approaching from the south joins the trackway giving access to NPRN 503506. From SN8317968612 the trackway is terraced rather than a hollow way, with some erosion occurring from vehicle use. Going down the slope the erosion increases as the surface water increases. The modern track diverges to the south of the trackway, presumably to avoid the rutted areas. At SN8327468775, the trackway is revetted on its southern side by rough, coursed stonework. The dating of this is uncertain but as this part of the trackway has been used for vehicular access to NPRN 503506 since the early 20th century it may relate to that. East of this the ground becomes wetter, with standing or running water on the trackway until it starts to climb again at SN8363268778. The boulder clay is much thinner here and the trackway braids across a rocky surface. Once the trackway reaches the flatter ground at Blaen Rhestr the trackway continues as a track with one set of wheel ruts, up to a short track created by vehicles driving to NPRN 503508. This track has been created by erosion of the overlying peat and the same natural boulder clay/stone can be seen exposed as is seen in the trackway. The trackway now continues along the broad ridge of Clawdd Du Mawr and Clawdd Du Bach to Carn Ricet. The trackway is sometimes indistinct neither a hollow way nor terraced. As it approaches Carn Ricet it becomes more of a hollow way, often water-logged. Beyond Carn Ricet, the trackway has been given NPRN 261236.
Andrew Fleming stated in 2009, The Making of a Medieval Road, Landscapes, Vol 10, Number 1, pages 77-100, that the much of this section of the trackway had been metalled. However, the wider scope of Upland Survey project in 2009, suggested that stone thought to be metalling was probably material within the boulder clay, seen clearly in many exposures throughout the area. The stone revetting of the trackway was only seen on the section of track used since the early 20th century for access to NPRN 503506. This use included bringing all the materials to build NPRN 503506, so it is possible that the stone revetting was to strengthen the trackway for this.

979 ELAN LINKS - HERITAGE AT RISK ASSESSMENT Setting: This section of the trackway or road, NPRN 23712, runs across high and exposed ground from Rhyd Hengae at SN8239368206, to Carn Ricet at SN8715370924, a distance of 6km. Accessibilty: Difficult Rarity: Not CommonSignificance: Locally Important
Known Threat?: YesLevel of Threat: Low Type of Threat: Erosion Vehicles have caused damage in the past, but cyclists and walkers can also continue to erode some of the sensitive parts of the track where peat has now grown across some sections and poor drainage has led to localised flooding. Management Recommendation: Improved drainage in some areas might help, also rerouting the trail around sensitive or damaged sections.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: The deserted rural settlement at Lluest y Gadair is shown on the 1831 1" to 1 mile Ordnance Survey map but not named. It is shown as a single unoccupied building on the 1841 parish tithe map. By the time of the 1st edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of 1891 it is shown as a single building within a very small field system, NPRN 504519. Trackway NPRN 504565 runs to it and a well NPRN 504518 may have provided its water. When visited in 2009, the settlement consisted of two ruined buildings NPRN 504517 and 504517. The field system was hard to define and the well was not found. Local information says that this place was also known as Lluest Abraham, which probably refers to the name of Abraham Davis, who lived here during the second half of the 19th century and appears on the census returns for 1871-1891. It may have been abandoned after the death of Abraham Davis in 1900, although is shown on later Ordnance Survey maps also. Amongst the ruins of the house, it was noted that some good roofing slates were present, with slating nails still in place. This suggests that the property may have been improved in the late 19th or early 20th century, perhaps at the time when the Birmingham Corporation was investing in the buildings on its tenant farms. One local tale about Lluest y Gadair has it that Abraham would bring new servants home from hiring fairs after dark, and by a circuitous route, in order than they wouldn’t easily be able to leave him and find their way home. This was undoubtedly one of the more remote settlements in the area when it was occupied.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A relatively well-preserved earthwork enclosure, which would appear to be associated with a more denuded long hut (NPRN 30848) some 10m to the southwest. The enclosure is defined by strong earth banks, 0.7m high by 2.5m wide at base, with an external ditch, 1m wide around all sides. There is an entrance in the centre of the west-northwestern side. The enclosure measures 12.5m west-northwest to east-southeast by 10m, but due to the thickness of its walls is relatively small internally, approximately 7.5m by 5m. It is presumably some form of animal pen or fold. When visited in June 2009 the area was improved pasture and the vegetation cover was of reeds and grass.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: The remains of a rectilinear drystone structure on the northwestern bank of the Nant Bryn yr Ieir. It is not shown on the 1833 1" to 1 mile map, nor on the 1st and 2nd edition 1:10560 Ordnance Survey maps of 1891 and 1905. However, according to Winchester and Straughton, 2008, a cottage is mentioned as having been built in 1811 at Brynyair in the 1722-1817 Manor of Grange Cwmtoyddwr presentments book. This structure and NPRN 503522 may be the remains of this cottage and ancillary structures as no other settlement site were found at Bryn yr Ieir during Uplands Survey in 2009. The original nature of this structure was not clear as the southern end had been eroded away by the stream. What remained was a length of well-built roughly coursed wall, 1m wide and 0.75m high. This ran east southeast to west northwest for just over 5m. At its eastern end a separate wall ran at right angles to it towards the stream. There was a gap of 0.70m between the two and the second wall was more ruinous. At the western end of the first wall was the rubble remains of another wall again running at right angles towards the stream. Further rubble lay around about. Form of Evidence: RuinCondition: Near Destroyed Current land use: Rough Pasture Confidence in Record?: High Verified in the field. Evidential Value: Drystone ruin, badly damaged Group Value: Associated with a drystone wall NPRN503521 Historical Value: Probably named in 19th century manorial records as being built in 1811 Aesthetic Value: None Communal Value: None Setting: This ruined drystone structure is situated on the northwestern bank of the Nant Bryn yr Ieir, a tributary of the Gwngu, in a remote area of rough moorland. The stream has badly eroded the structure. Accessibilty: Remote area. Rarity: Not CommonSignificance: Locally Important
Known Threat?: YesLevel of Threat: High Type of Threat: Erosion The stream has already badly eroded this feature and removed perhaps half of the structure. Management Recommendation: Excavation of the remaining portion of the building. The stream will eventually destroy the site.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A linear earthwork feature that runs from SN8922866981 south southeastwards and appears to be cut by leat NPRN 261660 twice. It carries on down the south-facing slope and then turns to run southeastwards along the valley side. It has many of the characteristics of a mine leat, especially to its northern end where it is often a reed-filled gully. It may well be a failed attempt at building a leat to connect to the upper section of the leat (NPRN 261660) from Llyn Cerrigllwydion Isaf. At its northern extremity it runs parallel, but below, the leat, but suddenly peters out, which may be an indication that a point had been reached when it was realised that an error had been made or continuation was futile.

Form of Evidence: EarthworkCondition: Intact Current land use: Rough Pasture Confidence in Record?: High Verified in the field. Evidential Value: Earthwork Group Value: None Historical Value: None Aesthetic Value: None Communal Value: None Setting: This barrow is located on a flat, broad hill summit, overlooking the Elan valley to the north. When visited in June 2009 the area was used for rough grazing and vegetation cover was grass. Accessibilty: Accessible from farm track Rarity: Not CommonSignificance: Nationally Important
Known Threat?: YesLevel of Threat: Low Type of Threat: Agricultural Re-Use The area has evidently been periodically mown by Glanhirin farm to control the spread or density of Molinia. The mowing had crossed over the mound in 2009 and could erode the barrow if repeated. Management Recommendation: The barrow should be avoided by heavy machinery. Keeping the Molinia off the barrow is a valuable outcome of the mowing however but maybe in future strimming any Molinia growing on the mound would be preferable.

During the years immediately preceding and during the First World War, the hill formed a part of the Rhayader Artillery Camp, and was a target area for guns positioned to the eastern side of the Elan Valley, some 3km away.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: A building is shown at Lluest y Gadair on the 1831 1” to 1 mile Ordnance Survey map and on the 1841 parish tithe map, although it does not seem to have been occupied at the time of the tithe. When visited in September 2009 the building in this position was seen to be a former house, now ruinous. It measured 6m east southeast to west northwest by 5.5m, with an additional 2m wide sheltered area to the north northeast created by a wall now a grass-covered bank. The stone building appeared to have been deliberately levelled, the 0.60m wide walls standing to a height of 1m and centre of the building filled with rubble. The southeast corner of the building stood slightly higher, up to 1.5m and remains of lime mortar could be seen between the stones. The doorway was in the southern wall and there was probably an internal division running from the eastern side of this. Evidence of a slate roof could be seen lying around the house as well as some red brick, which suggests improvements or maintenance were carried out in the late 19th century when the Birmingham Corporation took over the Elan Estate.

Site Status: No Site Status Description: This structure was difficult to interpret when first recorded in 2011. It is clearly a rectilinear, drystone structure, measuring 10.5 metres long east to west, by 4.5 metres wide, but thick reed growth within and around the structure made it impossible to determine whether it was a fold or a long hut or long house. No evidence of an entrance was noted. The low wall bases defining the structure were up to 0.9 metres wide and consisted of mostly large stone blocks, and appeared rubble-built rather than coursed. There was some evidence that the western end was terraced into the hillslope, but it was not clear whether the structure stood on an artificial platform or not.
