Cadw's description
Location
Located below the farmhouse, set parallel to the road and behind a large C20 shed.
Exterior
Open sided straw barn, late C19, three bays, comprising stone piers carrying a C20 roof. The two SW piers are in the form of strongly tapering circular columns with later brick cappings carrying the tie beams for the roof.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-known local curiosity, and as an example of a building type erected in the later C19 to keep straw stacks under cover.
