Historic house although the present one is not the original. The name is not original either: in the late C18 a mansion was erected here on the site of an existing farm called Bwlch y Clawdd (Pass of the Embankment); the name Temple Druid was taken from the fine cromlech that was dismantled to make way for the new building. Contemporary antiquarian Richard Fenton deplored the utilization of its position for a dungheap and its stones for pigstyes!
