Cadw's description
Location
Located in the garden wall in front of the house and facing the lane. The house is to the E of the Llantrisant bypass (A473).
History
Probably late C18 or early C19.
Exterior
Seven square recesses in a line with flat stone lintels and sills. Each recess would have held one skep of bees. Above is an irregular line of narrow projecting stones affording protection from the weather. Possibly 2 further recesses, now blocked, to the L. Set into a rubble stone wall facing S, which may originally have been part of a farm building.
Reason for designation
Listed for their special interest as an agricultural feature now becoming rare in S Wales.
