Summary: A site formerly associated in historic sales particulars with the Gogerddan Arms. It is in an area known as Moel Ynys and was not far from the place where a ferry plied between Ynyslas and Aberdovey, so might have provided shelter and refreshments to those waiting for the ferry on this notoriously dangerous crossing.
May also have been used by the lime-burners at Ynyslas
