Cadw's description
Location
On the east side of the farmyard at Bodcoll, some 85m south of the farmhouse.
History
Mid-late C19 haybarn, part of a planned farmstead group. Bodcoll was a farm on the Hafod estate, and these buildings are likely to have been built by the estate.
Exterior
Large haybarn. Coursed and dressed local stone rubble laid in narrow courses; slate roof with overhanging verges. Facing yard, the barn has near-central full-height cart-entry, flanked by tall vent slits to either side. Similar slits in rear wall flank the now partially blocked opposed full-height doorway. Lower gable end also has vent slits, and is open at the apex, with a short queen post truss carrying the roof.
Interior
Large open space with 4 bolted collar trusses.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine (and unusually large) hay barn with good traditional character which is part of an exceptionally well-preserved planned farmstead group.
