Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
The bee boles are set, facing outwards, in the curved angle of the stone wall of a paddock, near the SW gable end of the farmhouse.
History
No dateable features, but probably belong to the C18 predecessor of the present farmhouse.
Exterior
A series of 5 roughly formed recesses in a stone wall enclosing a paddock, with ledges c60cm above the field level to take the skeps.
Reason for designation
Included as an important element in the economy of larger C18-C19 farms of a type that rarely survives in this area.
