Description
Cil-yr-ychen Barn Range is a long barn complex dating from the 19th century. It features a double threshing barn at the north end, with an integral stable to the south that has a hayloft above. Attached to the south end is an open hay barn. The threshing barn is constructed of rubble masonry and has a roof made of stone slabs with a tile ridge, while the hay barn is built from axe-dressed masonry and covered with corrugated steel sheeting.
The threshing barn includes two sets of opposing great doors, which have neatly formed low segmental arches and are vertically boarded. One door on the west side has been walled up, while the other has an informal lean-to structure built within it. There are three tall slit ventilators on each side of the barn. The stable section has a single door with two loft hatches above, and there are no openings in the rear wall of this part.
The hay barn is a later addition and consists of four bays supported by stone piers, each approximately 0.6 meters square. Holes in the stonework indicate that there were two rails at low height on each side. The threshing barn itself has six bays and features 19th-century king-post trusses. Beneath the tie beam to the north of the south pair of doors, there is a length of line shafting, likely used to bring power into the barn for threshing. The stable area includes a loose box.
