The farmstead of Bryn y Cadno has a long and interesting history dating back to the 16th century (1594) with buildings and associated structures forming a group of very distinctive character. The layout of the farmhouse is derived from a longhouse plan with the well preserved cow house on the other side of the stream of an even earlier date. Material in the National Library references the history of Bryn-y-Cadno back over 400 years and gives good reason to suppose that Bryn y Cadno is medieval in origin.
