History
Single-storey vernacular building probably of C17 or C18 and of domestic origin (suggested by a central stack said to be visible internally); altered C19 and C20. The building was used in this century at least as a wheelwright's workshop, most recently (pre-War) by 'Griffith Owen, Wheelwright', as witnessed by a painted shutter still in situ.
Exterior
Single-storey vernacular building of random rubble construction, with C20 corrugated iron roof. The main (NW-facing) side has a boarded door to the L with a chamfered pine frame and exposed composite lintel (later). To the R a square window opening with modern boarding, formerly an entrance. Beyond, a larger window with painted shutter bearing the inscription: 'Griffith Owen Wheelwright', early C20. To the R of this a further entrance with recessed boarded door. The rear has a small, square light (apparently a primary opening) with modern shutter; to the R a blocked entrance. Upper square, boarded window to the down-hill gable end with pegged frame and lintel.
Interior
Retains a central chimney (the stacks removed at ridge level). Not available for inspection during survey (November 1996).
Reason for designation
Included for group value with other listed items at the village crossroads.
