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
C17 barn with eaves raised and new roof structure added in late C18 or early C19. The barn forms part of the farm at Taldwrst, the farmhouse and other farmbuildings of which are in too fragmentary a condition for inclusion on this list.
Exterior
Irregularly coursed rubblestone on boulder plinth; slate roof. Narrow opposing segmental-arched doorways with voussoirs and plank doors to long walls with small window to south on each side; upper-level doorway to south gable end.
Interior
3 A-frame trusses with double purlins and rafters, all lime plastered; lime torching to underside of slates and lime-plastered walls.
Reason for designation
Included as a very good example of a C17 barn, albeit with later alteration, a comparatively rare building type in this region and with fine if simple architectural detailing.
