Jacqui and Jeff Kedward have been running Hafod Farm Stables since 2008 but Jeff and his family have farmed Hafod since the 1970s.  In 2008 they sold the dairy cows and turned the farm over completely to horse livery, retaining some adjacent fields for silage and sheep grazing.

The word Hafod is Welsh for the agricultural term and common English place name 'summerleaze' or 'farm', and refers to the seasonal cycle of transhumance - the movement of livestock and people from a lowland winter pasture at the main residence (Welsh hendre) to a higher summer pasture from roughly May through October.

However, life at Hafod goes back well before the Kedward's farmed the land.  There is a Cadw monument comprising of the remains of a defended enclosure, which probably dates to the Iron Age period (c. 800 BC - AD 74, the Roman conquest of Wales).

Inland promontory forts are usually located on a ridge or spur with steep slopes on 2 or 3 sides, and artificial ramparts on the level approaches. Alternatively they may have been constructed on a promontory above the confluence of two rivers, or in the bend of a meander. Hafod Camp was defended by a double bank and ditch, covered with trees on the main bank and grass elsewhere.
