Probably C17 or C18 cowhouse, but was thought by the owner to pre-date the house at Maes-y-garnedd.

Interior

The barn has an exposed roof of 4-bays and paired purlins, the truss closest to the entrance has ogee queen posts above the tie beam (the R hand blade now missing), the other 2 are pegged and collared trusses with tie beams.
