There are two farms - Cas-Troggy Farm and Penyrheol Farm. There is also a Methodist chapel on the main road. The chapel recently celebrated its 121st anniversary. Services are held on the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 3.00pm.[1]
There are remains of a Baptist Chapel, shown on old maps as "Pen Y Well Chapel". Gravestones date back to the 18th century, and it also once had a yew tree, now destroyed.[2]
