Cadw's description
Location
To south of the house at Glanhafan-fawr.
History
A barn reconstructed in the C19, including a cruck couple rescued from the old farmhouse.
Exterior
A stone barn with a loft entered by outside stairs on the east gable wall; upper part boarded informally at front and rear and on east gable. Slates survive on about a third of the roof to the east end; otherwise roofed in corrugated steel sheeting. The end towards a modern shelter building at the west is open. Blank north wall apart from one small window and a boarded up dormer hatch. South wall with large opening and window to left; two shed doors, two small windows.
Interior
Crucks at the west end.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved farmbuilding incorporating earlier crucks, and a good example of regional building traditions. Group value with the farmhouse.
