The fenced-off site is on the east side of Mountain Road. This is (or was) the most southerly house on Mountain Road, which continues its ascent, beyond the right edge of the view, towards Caerphilly Common.
The gate at the right edge of the view leads to a track http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2561797 into woodland.

Keep in low gear : 17% descent ahead, Mountain Road, Caerphilly
Having just walked up Mountain Road to this point, I can confirm it is a steep climb up from Caerphilly railway and bus stations! The sign shows a 1.7% descent ahead, but 17% is intended - that's a 1 in 6 gradient. A 1.7% gradient would be barely noticeable, and would certainly not need a sign!
