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.

In an isolated position on the N side of the Cwmyringel brook on the N side of Beacon Hill, approximately 2.2km SW of Beguildy and accessible only by footpath.
History
A late-medieval cruck-built 1-bay hall house with stone walls, subsequently converted to a storeyed house and raised. Uninhabited and used as a barn from the final quarter of the C20.
Exterior
A 2-storey 2-window house of rubble stone and corrugated iron roof. Gable ends, and associated stone stacks, have partly collapsed, replaced by corrugated iron sheets on the L side. The central doorway retains one wall of a former porch. Wooden frames of 2-light casements survive in the lower storey. In the upper storey are small windows beneath the eaves. The L gable end retains fragments of walls of an attached farm range.
The rear is stepped, indicating where the wall has been raised. A blocked wood-framed window is L of centre. A narrow opening is to the R.
Interior
The C17 plan formed has survived. The hall retains its post-and-panel partition, and the doorway to the parlour has a segmental head. RCAHM Wales also recorded 4 cruck trusses.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding its deteriorating condition, for its special architectural interest as a regional house retaining early form and detail.
