Possible deserted Medieval settlement or village near Cefnllys Castle. Aerial photography shows traces of possible houses and fields. A borough, associated with Cefnllys castle (Nprn96530), was first mentioned in 1304, with 25 burgesses, with a mill (see Nprn40280) and mention of a ridge toll (see Nprn170538), although probably extant 1297. The borough may have decayed through the 14th century.

(source Brown 1972, 15-16)

Features noted around St Michael's church (Nprn308820) may represent the borough, although these are overlain by relict field boundaries and cultivation marks (Nprn307121).
