Description
This is a stone barn located to the southeast of Neuadd, featuring a corrugated roof. The masonry to the right of the barn door is made of roughly coursed rubble, while the left side is constructed with carefully coursed and snecked stone, along with ashlar or tooled stone dressings, indicating a 19th-century rebuild. High in the gable end facing the road, there is a cusped light beneath a pointed hoodmould with a face stop. On either side of the barn door, there are two late medieval or medieval-style windows, each consisting of two arched lights within a rectangular stone frame, separated by a moulded mullion. The left window appears to be a 19th-century restoration, while the right may be medieval. These windows are positioned beside the traditional tall double barn doors, which feature a Tudor-arched doorway with tooled voussoirs and a surround to the left.
Attached to the barn is a high stone wall, constructed of coursed rubble on the side and dressed and snecked on the entrance front, with tooled ashlar quoins, buttresses, and voussoirs. The wall is embattled and topped with pyramidal coping. To the left of the entrance arch, there is an arrow loop that is chamfered and has voussoirs made of contrasting sandstone, flanked by buttresses with stepped offsets. A shallower buttress is located at the front left, adjacent to another arrow loop. There is also a further stretch of coursed rubble wall that steps forward to the right.
Inside, the barn is divided into a former stable and barn area, retaining some panelling, a cobble floor, and trusses made of tie beams and struts, along with three rows of trenched purlins.
