Description
Dan y Banc Farm Buildings is a symmetrical group of farm buildings constructed from local rubble masonry. The buildings feature low arches over openings and a slate roof with a low pitch supported by simple tied trusses.
The main feature of the layout is a threshing barn. Attached to the east end of the barn are cowsheds, creating a T-shaped arrangement, with additional single-storey wings added to the ends of the cowsheds on the side opposite the barn.
The barn has doors on opposite sides that are of different heights, with a flagged floor between them and ventilation slits in the walls. The southeast gable elevation, which faces the yard and the house, includes a central door, a pitching aperture above it, and a circular aperture near the apex. The barn has a modern roof structure. The attached cowsheds feature low doors on the yard side and ventilation slits. The south return wing originally housed stables and cart-sheds, with a large arched opening facing east and another facing north, both of which are now walled up. The north return wing was originally a shippon. The single-storey wings have corrugated steel sheet roofs supported by original pegged trusses.
