Cadw's description
Location
Ystum-cegid farm stands on a hilltop 2km S of Dolbenmaen. The farm building and granary lies opposite the SE end of the farmhouse and in line and directly to the SW of the outbuilding facing the yard.
History
The building was probably erected at the time of major improvements to the farmhouse in the late C18 or early C19.
Exterior
Built of coursed rubble of local stone, with a later slate roof. Ground floor store, probably originally a cow house, and upper floor granary reached by an external flight of steps at the NE end. Boarded door and 2 small windows to the ground floor, with a further window at the downhill end probably replacing a further doorway. A boarded gable end door to the granary.
Reason for designation
Included as part of a good group of farm buildings and of group value with the farmhouse and other listed buildings at Ystymcegid.
