Not a level crossing
It appears that there was a level crossing here in the past but now vehicles must take a longer route. Pedestrians can however cross the railway line, which no longer has passenger trains, but are exhorted to "Stop, Look, Listen." The building on the left was a signal box and the garden walls in the foreground are topped with local limestone rock fragments.

Amman Hotel, Glanamman (Recreated)
This is a recreation of the following 1956 photo from the Frith collection: http://www.francisfrith.com/search/wales/powys/glanaman/photos/glanaman_G249015.htm
It doesn't look so much like a hotel anymore and the road has been diverted so that this is now a pedestrian-only level crossing. The trains don't even run these days but this may soon change as a local railway society is planning to reopen the line.

Cross Keys Cottage, Glanaman
This cottage is directly across the road from the Cross Keys Inn. The front garden wall of the cottage contains the inscribed stone from the demolished toll house that used to stand somewhere near here ("Cross Keys" apparently being a name associated with toll gates).
The stone is on the very top course of the wall near the pictured lamp post facing in towards the house. See Image for detail.
The current owner insists the cottage was a shop in older times and has never been a toll house.
