Cadw's description
Location
About 20m NW of Faenol-bach farmhouse.
History
Probably C17, may be contemporary with the enlargement of Faenol-bach farmhouse.
Exterior
A barn range in local axe-dressed uncoursed limestone masonry, with slate roof. Conspicuous raised and coped gables at each end, perhaps indicative of original thatch. Stonework much altered but retaining several slit vents. On the farmyard side there are large loft-hatches to right and left, a smaller loft opening left of centre, and 2 large doors below under a concrete lintel.
Interior
Not seen, but said to be 5-bays, originally with 3 storage bays and 2 threshing floors.
Reason for designation
A C17 barn which has retained much of its character notwithstanding alterations; listed also for group value with Faenol-bach farmhouse.
