Cadw's description
Location
In the farmyard just N of the house at Plas Machen.
History
Large 5-bay open fronted cart shed, probably earlier C19, presumably built for the Tredegar estate. Old photographs show stone tiles to the hipped roof.
Exterior
Cartshed, purple rubble stone with asbestos sheet hipped roof, single storey with five elliptical-arched cart entries to front, each arch with tooled cut stone voussoirs and square stone piers between. The left arch is slightly wider.
Interior
Interior retains four oak tie-beam and collar trusses, the collars bolted.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-built estate cart-shed with formal arched facade, of group value with Plas Machen.
