Description

The hay barn at Plas Hendre is a mid-17th century structure featuring four bays. It has coped gable parapets and kneelers, constructed from rubble with a medium to steep slate roof and a battered base on the eastern gable end. The barn is situated on a hillside and includes two tiers of ventilation slits on the left side and three on the right, some of which are blocked. A large central entrance is topped with a timber lintel that has the carved date of 1648. To the right, there is a modern brick infill and a modern boarded stable door, while a further entrance on the left has a plain boarded door.

To the left, there are two 20th-century single-storey extensions that project to the south, alongside a likely 18th-century single-storey rubble outbuilding to the southwest. Adjacent to the left (east) is a later 17th or 18th-century rubble cowshed that features a parapeted gable with crude kneelers on the eastern side and a corrugated iron roof. This cowshed has a reduced entrance on the left with a large timber lintel and a later window opening on the right that has been bricked up. There is also a boarded-shuttered opening above and a similar opening on the gable end, which contains five ventilation slits arranged in a stepped pattern.
