Church settlement of Llan-gors, viewed from the south. The present church dedicated to St Paulinus lies within a distinctive curvilinear churchyard near the centre of the settlement and probably represents an early medieval ecclesiastical site dating from at least the 7th century.

Fieldscape just to the south of Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn, near Lake View. Like the similar field pattern near the village of Llan-ddew, the strip fields combined with dog-legged boundaries and remnant traces of ridge and furrow cultivation have derived from the enclosed medieval open-fields associated with the medieval church settlement.
