Historical background
Area of irregular field patterns apparently arising from prehistoric
settlements. H L North buildings and large, substantial farmsteads
dominate the hillside.
Key historic landscape characteristics
Irregular fields, enclosed spaces, North buildings, large
farmsteads, tracks and paths
A small, cohesive area of distinct character on a hillside
above Llanfairfechan, consisting of a pattern of small, irregular
fields (many of prehistoric ‘curvilinear' shape), with substantial
18th-19th century farmsteads, and a punctuation of 20th century
buildings by the architect H L North.
A single, winding trackway loops around the area, off which
lead the tracks to the scattered farms and a network of footpaths.
Prehistoric settlements undoubtedly survive in field corners,
and the area needs detailed survey.
