Description
The barn at Pen-ucha-roe-bach is a rectangular structure dating from the 18th century. The southern side and the lower western gable are built from local limestone, while the rest of the barn, including the upper sections of the southern side, is constructed from locally-burned red brick that has been whitened on the northern front. The barn features a medium-pitched red tiled roof, dating from around 1900, with projecting verges.
On the northern side, there is an off-centre primary entrance on the right, which has a cambered brick head and a boarded stable door. To the right of this entrance, there are two tiers of contemporary ventilation slits. To the left of the main entrance, there is a smaller entrance with a cambered head and a boarded door, followed by two blocked entrances and some blocked ventilation slits. An inset limestone plaque to the left of the main entrance bears the date 1759 and some indistinct initials.
The southern side has an original cambered entrance that corresponds to the front entrance but is slightly raised and also features a boarded door. To the right of this entrance is another smaller entrance, with a further blocked entrance beyond it, along with additional blocked ventilation slits. There is a large later entrance on the eastern gable with a loading bay above it. The upper western gable has a square open window with a wooden frame, along with a similar but smaller opening in the lower wall.
The interior of the barn was not available for inspection at the time of the survey in October 1997.
