Cadw's description

Located in the centre of the farm group immediately NW of Ty'n-y-Ffrith.

Rectangular rubble byre with slate roof, probably late C18.

5 openings to the main side (facing NE), all formerly entrances. Of these the central 2 are now reduced to 4-pane sliding sashes and the others are open; all have exposed timber lintels. The L gable has a partly-boarded loading bay.

Four-bay interior with earth floor and crude original trusses of tie-beam and raking strut type; the purlins, common rafters and first truss (from L) are modern replacements.

Included for group value with other listed items at Ty'n-y-Ffrith.
