Ffarm wag Tyncoed sy'n dyddio o'r 17g os nad yn gynharach. O dan y to sinc ceir hen do gwellt. Mae'r ffarm yn dŷ hir lle trigai'r teulu ar un pen a'r anifeiliad ar y pen arall; hynny yw, y rhan isaf. Am genedlaethau y trigai teulu'r Walters yma, yr olaf oedd Joe Walters a fu farw rywbryd yn ystod y 1960au. Gadawodd y ffarm i'w nai, Joe Evans neu 'Joe Tyncoed' fel y'i gelwid, a bu'n ffarmio yma am flynyddau. Bu farw yn 2003 tra yn ei wythdegau. Tyncoed (trans. Farmstead of the Wood) dates from the seventeenth century and may possibly be even earlier. It is a traditional long house where the family lived at one end of the building and the animals at the lower end. The zinc roof conceals the old thatch. Sadly, the farm, having been left empty for years, is rapidly deteriorating. For generations the farm was home to the Walters Family, the last being Joe Walters who died during the 1960s. He left the farm to his nephew, Joe Evans, better known as 'Joe Tyncoed' who died in 2003 while in his eighties.
