Cadw's description
Location
Situated approximately 20 metres NE of site of stable range, some 120 metres NE of site of demolished house.
History
Late C19 hay-barn, probably contemporary with the stables, built 1882 for John Waddingham, who purchased the Hafod estate in 1870. Marked on 1891 OS. This building and the L-plan stable range are the closest surviving structures to the site of the mansion. It stands on a bluff above and to E of stable court.
Exterior
Rubble-built five-bay open-sided hay-barn, built E-W across slope. Slate roof. Matching S and N elevations with tall full-height centre entry flanked each side by two large openings also rising to eaves, divided by square rubble pillars. Openings have sills formed of rubble copings, set on a dripcourse. Gable ends each with triplet of ventilation loops.
Interior
Sloping centre passage, with raised platform for hay storage each side.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-designed and well-preserved later C19 hay-barn, and for historic association with the Hafod estate.
