History

A small C17 corn barn built next to the original farmhouse, and soon actually joined onto it by the extension of the house. This remained largely unaltered but was relegated to being a secondary barn following the purchase of the farm by the Pontypool Park estate in the early C19 during the ownership of Capel Hanbury Leigh (1795-1861).

Exterior

Rectangular barn of whitewashed rubble stone with a corrugated metal sheet roof (previous list records pantiles). The long walls have three slit vents on either side of the opposed doors, the gable walls have three with one above in the gable; the west gable has two of the lower ones obscured by the scullery outshut, while the north wall has two obscured by a lean-to brick shed.

Interior

Four hewn triangular trusses and secondary rafters largely complete, but with some additional strengthening members. Rear splays to the ventilation slits.
