History

C19 outbuilding, a two-bay cart-shed with grain-loft over, notable for the re-use of a fine C15 ogee cusped lancet. The origins of the window are uncertain, there are the foundations of a square building to the SE of the present farmhouse. The building was restored in 2000. Tan-y-fedw is marked on the Crai Tithe map of 1840 as a 148 acre holding occupied by Howell Powell. The farm was owned by James Powell of Pantysgallog who owned a total of some 626 acres in the parish.

Exterior

Outbuilding, rubble stone, with asbestos sheet roof. Two storey with two cambered arches to front with stone voussoirs, outside steps on left end wall to broad loft door and window under single timber lintel. On right end wall a resited medieval window. This is of purple stone, single light, chamfered, with cusped ogee head. Square holes for iron bars to jambs and head.

Interior

Cart shed has a small recess on right side wall, but little indication that the wall itself is medieval. Timber lintels behind arches, adzed to arch-profile. Joisted ceiling with single chamfered centre beam.

Reasons for Listing

Included primarily for the surviving medieval stonework of high quality, and also as a well-built lofted cart-shed.
