Cadw's description
Location
Opposite the farmhouse on the other side of a narrow mountain lane.
History
Barn and byre could be contemporary with house which is probably late C17/early C18, the dairy bay added later.
Exterior
Small 4 bay barn of stone rubble with boulder footings, corrugated roof, built into slope and aligned roughly E/W. Central double doorway flanked by ventilation slits, triangular ventilators at gable end, all openings with timber lintels. Stepped down is a small byre with 3 doorways with planked doors and dormer to loft, rear lean-to. Stepped down again a small bay at end, a former dairy, the masonry more regularly coursed and incorporating some brick.
Interior
Barn has simple tie beam trusses with 3 rows of trenched purlins; deep splays to the ventilators. Byre retains some stall fittings.
Reason for designation
Included together with farmhouse as a small regional farmstead of probable late C17/early C18 origin and mostly unaltered since early C19.
