Site Description

NAR SN31NE2

Shattered ruins of a possibly 16th but probably 17th century house ruins; an early wing was incorporated into large cruciform renaissance house.

Leyland (1538) noted only 'small tokens' of a house or castle, presumably a precursor to the house represented in the present ruins; an engraving of 1740 shows the house in a ruinous state, similar to its present condition.

Source: Jones 1991 (carmarthen Ant. 27), 3-20.
