Probably C18. Shown on the Llandrillo tithe map of 1843. This was part of a small group of cottages at Melin y Glyn; a similar single-storey cottage to the W is now in ruins.  

Small single-storey 3-unit cottage with lobby entrance. Constructed of white-washed rubble stone under a slate roof, with stone end stack to R. Boarded door with small light to R, against stack. Small 2-light wooden casement windows to centre and L, rising to eaves. Small added units to each end; that to L is set back under the same roof line, with casement window. Unit to R has slightly lower ridge-height, and is rendered with casement to L and doorway to R. Rear not seen.  

No access to interior at time of inspection.  

Listed as a small single-storey rural cottage retaining its historic character, a building type which is becoming increasingly rare.
