Farm situated where the Nant Banw stream flowing from the NW joins the Grwyne Fechan running from the north. Beyond, the lane curves up towards the other side of the valley. The name Bont mean bridge (mutated from 'pont' so presumably once Y Bont). In this land of few surnames people would typically be named after their dwelling places, accordingly this was once the home of 'Bill the Bont'.
