Cadw's description

Location

Situated some 1.3km S of Llanilar on SW and SE sides of farmyard at Coedllys.

History

Outbuildings in 2 attached ranges at right angles, mid to later C19, not marked on 1845 Tithe map. The main SW range is a barn with lofted stable and added lofted cart-shed, the SE range is a single-storey cow-shed. The buildings are part of a farmstead apparently rebuilt in the later C19, possibly for the Castle Hill estate.
