Cadw's description
Location
Alongside the former stable range on the W side of the upper yard at Glandwr.
History
Part of the home-farm for the adjacent gentry house of Glandwr. The farm appears to have been developed from the early C19, with clear evidence of improvement and enlargement in the early-mid C19. This building is part of this campaign of expansion and is probably mid C19, as not shown on the Tithe map.
Exterior
Three-bay hay barn of stone rubble construction with slate roof. Externally heavily altered so as to obscure the original layout of 3 open bays which have been infilled with windows and doorway in front elevation, and with stone-walling to rear.
Interior
Original character still discernable inside: 3 open bays of post and lintel construction. Two collar trusses to roof.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding alterations externally, as a typical Meirionydd hay-barn which is an integral part of the exceptionally complete farm group at Glandwr.
