The exit from the long narrow Station Road car park is about 100 metres from the entrance. The metal frame (and a similar one at the entrance) enforces a vehicle height limit of 2.1 metres (6' 10"). Long and narrow car parks are often on former railway land. Such is the case here. Old maps show a railway here, north of Panteg and Griffithstown railway station http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4115072 where passenger services ceased at the end of April 1962.
