Barn at Glaspant

The barn at Glaspant is an early 19th-century structure built from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The right end of the barn is lofted. On the left side, there are two ventilation slits with two tiers of brick and slate dove holes above them, followed by a large arched entry featuring sandstone voussoirs. The lofted section on the right includes a ground floor door with an overlight and a window on each side, a loading door above, and a small window to the right. An added lean-to on the lower end wall contains dove holes and paired boarded windows in the gable.

Inside, the barn has five scarfed or jointed cruck trusses supporting a triple purlin roof, with the jointed feet resting on padstones in the walls. The upper end wall features raised loading doors and an apex window. The stone wall at the lower end has 20th-century internal steps leading to the loft door. The lower end also has four similar scarfed cruck trusses. The ground floor was originally a stable with recesses for hay-racks, and there is a rear door leading to a slate-floored passage.

The scarfed cruck trusses are characteristic of late 18th or early 19th-century roof construction and can also be seen in a derelict outbuilding to the north, which was formerly a lofted cart-shed.
