History

Agricultural complex, probably late C18, comprising hay barn and cowhouses with further cowhouse added, perhaps mid C19. Built to serve Hafod Llwyfog, but located away from it in the field barn tradition, in the preferred arrangement for Meirioneth and this part of Caernarvonshire.

Exterior

L-shaped agricultural complex consisting of a hay barn with lofted cowhouse and a lower cowhouse addition adjoining the latter. Of boulder and rubble construction with slate roofs and tiled ridges, the byre with uncoped, kneelered gable parapets. The hay barn section has 5 openings (temporarily boarded) to each side and an upper loading bay to the L gable. To the rear is a modern agricultural shed addition. The byre range is placed at right-angles to the hay barn at the R (N) end. It has a vertical ventilation slit to the upper front gable and a similar slit to the long N side; here, to the R, is an entrance with recessed modern boarded door. The cowshed addition is stepped down beyond this and has a central entrance with flanking former entrances, now reduced to windows; modern door.

Interior

Five-bay interior to the hay barn with wide bolted collar trusses and oak and pine purlins and rafters, all roughly scantled. The byre has a similar 2-bay roof and the cowshed has 4-bay collar trusses, as before.

Reasons for Listing
