==History== There are a number of ancient burial mounds in the general vicinity and a previous site of a windmill. An old private tollgate still stands and is now used as a holiday cottage. Croesgoch lies on one of the pilgrimage routes to St David's cathedral. Nearby, at Mesur-y-Dorth, a specially carved stone, indicates a spot where people shared their bread before the last stage of their journey.
