Cadw's description
Location
Hafod y Maidd farm is located approximately 400m due N of Glasfryn. The carthouse stands at right angles, to the N of the earlier farmbuildings around the yard, and faces E over the driftway to the fields further to the N.
History
The carthouse was built in the mid-late C19 to accommodate the increasing number of farm vehicles then employed.
Exterior
Built of well laid stone rubble with large quoins. Slate roof. Four square openings to the E, each with a monolithic slate lintel, and above each, a ventilation window with slats in the lower part, and glazing above. The upper floor, probably for the storage of hay and fodder, is accessed by an external stone stair at the S end, attached to the rear of the major farm building.
Reason for designation
Included as a handsome C19 farm building illustrative of changing farming practice of the time, and one of a group of fine and well preserved farm buildings at Hafod y Maidd.
