Hi Viv

It looks like:

Henyaguberdderyn or Henyaguberddey?

Hen is old and aderyn is bird but the bit in the middle seems odd $:-\$

Could you give the full census ref so that I could have a look, please?

The description puts it in the Cilan area. I'm checking maps now to see if i can see any of the others on the page.

There's a farm now called Ysgubor Hen on the current OS map

Grid Centre: SH 304 250

Just north of Mynydd Cilan

Henysgubor - Ysgubor Hen seems plausible

Hi Gaget,

you have just solved the problem - the enumerator obviously couldn't understand what they were saying -

Could it be Ysgubor ddegwm or Henyagu ddegwm?

It's fairly definately Hen ysgubor ddegwm. Degwm is the Welsh word for Tithe - I think this was a payment due to the church, originally paid in grain?
Ysgubor Ddegwm is Tithebarn, Hen ysguborddegwm is Old Tithebarn.
