Barn at Ty Maen

The barn at Ty Maen is a long structure made of rubble stone and topped with a slate roof, featuring one storey and an attic. The front of the barn faces east, with the northern half likely built earlier than the southern half. The northern section has a segmental arched opening with voussoirs to the left of center, which contains a planked door providing access to a wagon bay. To the right of this opening is a square-headed window with a timber lintel, featuring a two-casement multi-paned window. A doorway to the left, under a gablet and accessed by external stone stairs, leads to the loft, which has a boarded door with a timber lintel. To the right of this doorway is a loft hatch opening with boarded shutters.

The northern gable end has a battered base and a stone string course at the eaves level. In the gable, there is a multi-paned window with a timber lintel and a ventilation slit above it. The rear of the barn features a wagon bay doorway with a segmental arched head and voussoirs. To the right of this doorway is a window opening with boarded shutters under a timber lintel, and another window for the loft above, slightly offset to the right. To the left of the doorway is a 20th-century range made of corrugated iron.

The southern half of the barn has a wide square opening at the front with boarded double doors under a wooden beam. To the right of this opening is a window with a row of panes at the top and boarding below. The southern gable features a central planked door leading to the loft, which is approached by exterior curving stone steps. The rear wall of the southern half is obscured by a later single-storey stable range that is positioned at right angles, consisting of two doors and flanking windows, all under segmental heads with voussoirs.

The southern part is separated from the northern part by a stone wall, which has a boarded door to the right with a timber lintel. The southern half is divided into four bays and has a high-pitched collar truss roof, with the collars being chamfered. The loft spans most of the southern three bays, and there is a wagon bay in the northern bay, although the rear doorway has been blocked and now contains a window. The floor is cobbled and paved.

The northern half of the barn is open and features a 19th-century manger at the rear. The loft spans the entire area but was not entered. At the rear, a ventilation slit with splayed reveals is visible to the north of the doorway, although it is obscured externally by the 20th-century range.
