Description

The barn at Cilpyll Farm is a 19th-century structure built from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. It features a long range that includes a lofted cart-shed and stable on the right side, with the barn located to the left. The right section has a ledged door with stone voussoirs, followed by a broad elliptical arched cart-entry, also with stone voussoirs, which has been blocked for a window. To the left of this entry, there are external stone steps leading to a loft door. The barn on the left has tall barn doors, with the arch renewed in 19th-century yellow brick, likely originally timber. There are two vent loops on the left side, and at the left angle, there is a lean-to addition that projects slightly south, featuring a monopitch roof and an open northern end covered with a corrugated iron roof. The southern gable end has two loops and a small lunette at the apex, again with stone voussoirs. The rear of the barn has two loops on the right side and tall barn doors.

Inside, the barn has a five-bay roof supported by oak tie-beam trusses with thin angle struts, except for the third truss where the tie is raised as a collar-beam. There is a blocked loft entry on the right end wall, and the right section includes a cobbled floor in the cart-house.
