Image somewhat foreshortened but the farm has a close relationship with the burial chamber and is named after it. Richard Fenton, writing in the early C19, described it as "a very extensive and most excellent corn farm, held by lease under the palace of St David's" adding that it was sometimes used by the bishops as a holiday retreat "whither they frequently retired to disengage themselves from their more immured situation and ceremonious life within the cathedral precinct and breathe a purer air."
