Llanfair Orllwyn
On my older edition of the Ordnance Survey map this house is marked by a cross indicating a religious building. I think it was the church hall as there is a church of the same name half a mile to the south. This building is now used as a dwelling house.

A475, Penrhiw-Llan
Standing beside the A475 is a milestone. Milestones are the original roadside heritage features with many dating back hundreds of years and these historic items are under threat from highway developments. Milestones did not come into general use until the Turnpike Act of 1766 made them compulsory on turnpike roads, these roads were built by private enterprise under licence from the Government and maintained by tolls on those who used them. Before this Act milestones were put up occasionally, often as charitable acts and commemorations. Many Turnpike Act stones still exist. They are usually 2-3 ft high, with the initial letter or abbreviation of the nearest market town show on two faces, and the distance from it.

Milestone, Penrhiw-Llan
The milestone is beside the A475 and has an Ordnance Survey bench mark engraved into the face. For a wider view http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2086021 and for further information about the bench mark http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm35625 A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude. With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
