Kilkenny Barn

Kilkenny Barn is a late 18th-century barn and shelter sheds located in Bibury. The structure is built from coursed rubble limestone and features a Welsh slate roof, with stone slate on the west shelter shed and corrugated asbestos on the east. The barn consists of five bays and includes a south porch and outshuts. There are attached shelter sheds on both the east and west sides, with the east shed having an end return. The return shed at the west end is not considered of special interest.

The barn has a gabled north porch with plank barn doors and a timber lintel. The flanking outshuts, which have catslide roofs, feature small plank doors next to the barn porch. The gabled ends of the barn include slit vents at the apex, and there is a loft door at the east end with a timber lintel. The central barn doorway, located on the north side, has a timber lintel and is flanked by slit vents. The south-facing west shelter shed has seven bays supported by circular stone columns, while the east shed is enclosed, with the end return being west-facing and open-fronted. The interior was not inspected, but it likely has a collar and tie-beam truss roof structure. This barn is a typical example of post-enclosure architecture in this area of the Cotswolds.
