According to the antiquary Thomas Nicholas in his 1872 book, the Hirdre-Faig estate was owned by a family that could trace its ancestry to Bleddyn ap Cynfyn.[1] Their house is known to have been built in three phases, the latest of which has been dated to about 1710.[2]
The other point of historic interest is a standing stone, which was designated an ancient monument in 2006.[3]
