It was established on the low flat lands reclaimed from the sea after the Cruglas dam was built in the late 18th century. It is unlikely that any structures would have accompanied its use as a race course, though coins and other metalwork may be present [2] [3] [4]. Comprises a flat area of reclaimed salt marsh cut by drainage channels. There were no visible remains of a race course [1]. The setting of this asset is formed by HLT 9 and includes highways infrastructure associated with the A5 to the north and the settlement of Valley to the west. Its setting, characterised by the low flat area of reclaimed land, contributes to our appreciation of the asset. [5] References [1] Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. 2015.

It would appear to be a building of the mid to later 19th century. It is 13m long by 12m wide and orientated NW-SE. It is situated within a rectangular plot, and would appear to be a domestic structure [2]. A large symmetrical double fronted house, with three upper storey windows and two lower. There was a projecting string-course below the upper windows, along with rendered detail around the windows and door with faux keystone. A shop front has been inserted into the north eastern side of the house. There is an extension to the rear of the house, with a lower roof line [2]. The property is derelict with windows boarded up and security boarding around the boundary of the plot. The building is pebble-dashed but the brick in-and-out banding to the window surrounds and corners of the front elevation, and brick course at eaves height, remain exposed. The ridge line is surmounted by a cast iron row of finials [3]. References [1] Ordnance Survey, 1889, OS First Edition 1:2500 County Series Map. [2] Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. 2015.

The main building is 'L' shaped with each wing about 10m long, and the outbuilding rectangular and about 10m long. The building is not shown on the Baron Hill Estate Map of 1861, but pencil annotations suggest that building in this area had been planned, suggesting that they were built between 1861 and 1889 [2]. They have a sub-rectangular garden plot associated with them [3]. Comprises an L-shaped single storey building and a barn, which are now incorporated into modern buildings. The original building has been extensively changed and extended [3]. References [1] Ordnance Survey, 1889, OS First Edition 1:2500 County Series Map.

Asset Number 4 Asset Name Valley Hotel Designation None Cadw Ref None Value Low NGR SH2939879263 Type Hotel Period Post-medieval NMR ref None HER ref None Description Hotel represented on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1889 [1]. A substantial hotel building complex, located at the junction of the A5 and A55, covering an area of about 58m square. It is shown on the Baron Hill Estate Map of 1861, but not the Llanynghenedl Tithe Map of 1845, so is likely to have been built by the Baron Hill Estate between 1845 and 1861 [2] [3] [4]. The main building is almost rectangular in plan, with a double pitched roof and pitched dormer windows on the NE and SE faces. The building on the NE is most likely the original inn, while the remainder appears to be a single build, probably an extensive refurbishment in the late 18th or early 19th century. A two storey, roughly L-shaped building to the NW was originally the stables that have been converted into garages. A covered garage can be seen between this block and the road in photographs from the 1950s and 1960s [4].

Asset Number 5 Asset Name A5 Historic Route, Valley Designation None Cadw Ref None Value Low NGR SH2962079172 Type Road Period Post-medieval NMR ref None HER ref 58555None Description A 630 m long section of the line of the Telford's Holyhead - London road, designed in the 1810's, crosses the SW part of the study area. It runs NW-SE, following the route of the modern A5. HER PRN allocated as part of scheduling enhancement study but a full HER record has not been created at the time of writing. [1] [2] [3]. A number of elements of this historic route survive within the study area to the SE of Valley crossroads including a causewayed section across reclaimed salt marsh and four depots on the N side of the road [3]. The setting of this asset is characterised by the HLTs it passes through, modern elements of highways infrastructure, settlements and buildings adjacent to it.
