Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

History
Probably built in the C16; slightly altered.
Exterior
A small threshing barn (now a store), part rubble-built and part timber-framed. The walls are of large roughly-coursed rubble up to half height, and the upper half is clad with 5 tiers of horizontal weather-boarding. Rectangular 4-bay plan parallel to the road, facing N. The 3rd bay is occupied by a tall wagon entry breaking the eaves, the carried-down roof slightly raised over it. (Rear not inspected.)
Interior
Three pegged collar truses, the principals to the front slope of the roof being of cruck-blade form. The wall framing consists of short, broad studs between sill and wallplate, to which the weatherboard cladding is fixed with wooden pegs.
Reason for designation
Listed both as a good example of a part timber-framed barn of early date, and as an important element in an unusually good group at Ty Mawr.
