Barn and Attached Stable About 25 Yards South South East of Lower Llanon Farmhouse

This building is a barn and attached stable, likely built in the mid- to late 18th century, located about 25 yards south-southeast of Lower Llanon Farmhouse. It is constructed of coursed rubble with stone tiled roofs. The barn features three bays and incorporates a tallet, oriented east-west, with the stable attached at a right angle to the north side of the east bay. Each gable end of the barn has three ventilator slits, central opposed full-height corrugated iron doors, and two ledged split 18th-century doors leading to a cow shed beneath the tallet in the east gable end. The stable includes a small ventilation window and a loft opening above, both with pegged frames on the north gable, and an entrance on the east side through a contemporary split stable door. Inside, the barn is divided by two raking trusses, which are numbered with chiselled Roman numerals. A rubble wall about four feet high separates the threshing floor from the west end of the integral cow sheds. This is a significant small barn that features a late truss numbering system and maintains the traditional three-door gable end elevation found in larger barns, enhanced by the addition of the stable annex. It is included for its group value.
