Cadw's description
Location
Situated at upper end of car-park NE of Plas-yn-Rhiw.
History
Barn, now ticket office and shop, possibly early-to-mid C19. It was roofless when the National Trust acquired the estate, re-roofed 1985. Not apparently marked on 1844 Tithe Map.
Exterior
Barn now shop, granite rubble stone in large boulders with slate close-eaved roof. S front has ledged door to right of centre under big slab lintel and single vent loop each side. Rear is similar but with stable type door.
Reason for designation
Included as part of the group of outbuildings at Plas-yn-Rhiw, the restoration achieved without disturbance of the main fabric.
