Former barn and granary to Dawpool Farm

The former barn and granary, part of Dawpool Farm, were built in 1862 for James Hegan. The buildings are constructed of coursed, rock-faced red sandstone with a graduated Welsh slate roof.

The barn is arranged in nine bays by five bays under a twin roof and is connected to a smaller granary building by a water tank and roofed canopy. The west wall of the barn has numerous ventilation slots, while the east side is open, featuring a low plinth wall and tall piers dividing the bays. A pointed arch is located beneath the roof valley at the south end.

The granary’s south-facing gable has two squared-headed doorways with overlights between slatted casements with rounded sills and chamfered quoined surrounds. There are two boarded doors to the first floor, and a window below a central plaque displaying "J.H. 1862" in bold figures. The granary has rounded kneelers and ashlar gable copings. The east side has ashlar ventilation loops, while the west side features wide double doors, pointed doorways, and windows that mimic the gable front. The watertank structure linking the barn and granary is supported on corbelled iron beams and brick arches. An octagonal boiler-chimney rises from the granary roof.

Inside the barn, there are integral triangular buttresses, an axial passage, and flanking side walls that support cast-iron columns, a tie beam, and fishbone trusses. The southern bay serves as a coach house and stable with casements, formerly leaded, flanking the entrance. The stable has two bay stalls with chutes on the left.

The barn and granary represent a significant element of a planned farm complex at Dawpool and are noteworthy examples of mid-19th century agricultural building development.
