The Strata Florida Trust has bought the complex of historic farm buildings, called Mynachlog Fawr or Great Abbey, which lie immediately to the south of the monument. This includes a house which was once the home of the gentry family, the Stedmans, who owned the Abbey site after the Dissolution of 1539. Later it became a farm run by the Arch family.
The Trust was founded in 2016 with the first aim of acquiring and restoring the complex of historic buildings at Mynachlog Fawr (Old Abbey Farm). The acquisition happened in 2016 and conservation has recently begun.
The second aim is to develop the buildings and its surroundings as a Centre celebrating Welsh history, culture and environment in one of its ancient heartlands., culture an environment in one of its ancient heartlands.
