Description
The barn at Rhyd-y-Creuau is a 19th-century structure built of rubble on a rubble plinth, topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. The original rubble gable parapets have been removed. It features wide central entrances on both long sides, which have segmental heads and projecting arch rings made of dressed slatestone voussoirs and quoins. There are square open loading bays at both the far left and right on the north face, along with blocked ventilation slits on the sides and gable ends.
Inside, the barn has a seven-bay layout with original pegged collar trusses. Flanking the central threshing floor bay are tie-beam trusses with raking struts. One of these trusses on the eastern side is inscribed with the initials 'I.G.' and the year '1788'.
