The original grid reference given is incorrect, as it points to a cut BM and rivet on Llansantffraed church, about 1/2 km West of the described site. The description seems correct however, a farm building at Fferm Penlon directly on the A487 at SN 517674 and where the map shows a BM. Unfortunately it's covered in ivy so the FB is not visible, but wouldn't take much finding I guess.
