The Tredegar estate appears to have made allotments available in a number of parishes, over and above the allotment gardens at Mendelgyf on the outskirts of Newport. The allotment leases have been arranged by parish, town, village or allotment garden: Aberbargod, Basaleg, Bedwas, Bedwellte, Caerphilly, Crosskeys, Machen, Marshfield, Belle Vue, Mendelgyf, Mynyddislwyn, Newport, Rhiwderyn, Risca, Rogerstone, Rumney, St Woolloos, Shirenewton and Wattsville.

Annual accounts of receipts and payments, including for agricultural and mineral estate rents, sales of timber and coppice woods, War Damage Commission payments, rates and taxes, tithe rent charge annuities, insurance, seawalls and drainage, repairs, woods and plantations, Ruperra Castle, and remittances to Lord Tredegar.

These papers are unrelated to the Tredegar estate, having been accumulated by members of the Morgan family of Tredegar and their agents in the course of their public or private lives, or otherwise strayed into the Tredegar estate records. The bulk of the strays are client files of Henry F. W. Harries, the Brecon solicitor who acted as the agent for Tredegar's Breconshire estate (P 5/6). These files probably became mixed with the Tredegar material on the final dispersal of the Breconshire estate and the removal of the Breconshire estate records to Newport. Six other groups also all come from within the sphere of influence of the Tredegar estate, comprising the Monmouthshire commission of sewers, 1660-1792 (P 5/8), Newport assessments, 1700-1753 (P 5/7), Newport turnpike trust records, 1759-1880 (P 5/1), charity papers, 1772-1959 (P 5/2), St Woolloos rate book, 1875 (P 5/4), and Christchurch Highway Board letters received, 1880-1890 (P 5/5). The three files of Sussex vouchers, 1775-1776 (P 5/3), relate to an estate in the trusteeship of members of the Morgan family.
