Description
The large barn at Pont Rhys Powell Farm is constructed from pink and grey sandstone and features a corrugated metal sheet roof. Built into the hillside, the barn has a gable end that provides an additional storey at the road gable. It consists of five bays and has two slit vents on either side of the central doors, which are adorned with a small projecting hood at the front but lack one at the rear. The road gable displays a configuration of three, two, and one slit vents above the cowhouse, which originally had three doors for two rows of cows and a central feeding passage; however, only the left door remains, featuring its original oak frame and plank door with iron strap hinges. All three timber lintels are intact, with a small window located beneath the middle one. A date plaque is positioned in the gable, and there are doors to the cowhouse in both flank walls, along with some blocked triangular vents. The top gable end includes a taking-in door to the tallet, and there is evidence of an additional building that has since been removed.
Inside, the barn has four principal rafter trusses with Queen struts, three tiers of trenched purlins, and a ridge piece, although the secondary rafters have been replaced. The cowhouse features a plain design with a heavy, roughly beamed ceiling.
