ALLT-Y-FRAN-FACH, Troserch, Carmarthenshire 2020 - CARMARTHENSHIRE
Notes on Allt-Y-Fran-Fach, Troserch, Carmarthenshire 2020

A short track from Troserch Woods car park leads to the ivy covered ruins of Allt-Y-Fran-Fach. Access near impossible with almost shoulder height foliage but fortunately there was not many bramble, so it was easy, albeit slow and I got a good soaking, to trample down the weeds and nettle. Inside much ruinous, as seen here, internal wall of ‘Llangennech’ bricks had collapsed. It is always a pleasant return when you pick up a brick to see where it had been made… I often wished I collected bricks from around Wales but I have enough to carry and besides even if ruinous and broken, a brick does not belong to me and would be considered theft.

A few exposures were made outside too, viewpoints were scarce, the foliage again had to be trampled to get far away enough from the house. A single height barn stands right behind the house and I noted from older maps that they show the house and barn joined.
