Cadw's description
Location
Close to and on the same axis as the farmhouse but separated from it by a deep well; set into the slope a little downhill.
History
Building formerly used as a dwelling. Barn section housed a corn rick with byre adjacent.
Exterior
A long barn of rubble formerly limewashed with stone slate roof. In two units the left probably older. At left the higher ground at gable end allows for a loft level entrance at gable end with 6 pane window beside; to front elevation similar windows flank a doorway, dormer to rear. At lower end to right a barn unit with double doors and added lean-to.
Reason for designation
Included as a large barn of regional character retaining its stone tiled roof and for group value with Rhyswg Fawr Farmhouse.
