History
Probably C17 or C18 cowhouse, but was thought by the owner to pre-date the house at Maes-y-garnedd.
Exterior
Long agricultural building of drystone boulder construction with a plinth course at the entrance (NW) gable. Roof of small pegged slates, now heavily grouted, with stone gable copings. There is a doorway in the NW gable and a window offset to R (SE) end of the SW gable with ventilation slit to R.
Interior
The barn has an exposed roof of 4-bays and paired purlins, the truss closest to the entrance has ogee queen posts above the tie beam (the R hand blade now missing), the other 2 are pegged and collared trusses with tie beams.
Reason for designation
Listed as an excellent and well preserved early cowhouse which retains a good traditional character and forms a group with the farmhouse and other agricultural buildings at Maes-y-garnedd.
