The road descends into the Sirhowy valley from the A4048 Newport Road. The cottages are near former licensed premises with a long history. Earliest references to it, centuries ago, were as the Ancient Druid Beer House. It was later renamed The Ancient Druid Inn. In its final years it was The Ancient Druid Hotel. Closure came after the ending of railway passenger services in the area in 1960.
