History

The barn is a rebuilding of a late C16 timber-framed storeyed house. The house was fully storeyed with ground and first-floor ceilings; position of fireplace is uncertain. In C17, the timber-framed walls were partially replaced in stone in 2 phases, re-using parts of the wall framing as sills and lintels. In the C19, the house was converted to a barn, with removal of ceilings and chimney; cow-house and calf shed added circa 1880-1900. The building's name "Neuadd" ("Hall"), suggests its high social status.

Exterior

Stone barn; weatherboarding to NW gable, vertical boarding to parts of rear. North-east and south-west threshing doorways. Barn extended to SE, and S corner enclosed by later cow-house, and calf shed lean-to; 2 doorways to N of cow-house; doorway to calf-shed in S angle between barn and extension.

Interior

The interior preserves the 2 bays of the hall, and inner bay of the house. The framing is generally of 4-tiered square panels. The NW gable end preserves upper half of framing with 2 windows showing evidence for pre-glazing diamond mullions, and evidence for diamond panels in gable apex. The inner room partition has dimond panels in Gable apex, doorway in upper level with elliptical doorhead; 2 doorways to ground floor, one with elliptical head. Open truss over centre of great chamber with raking struts. Sections of framing remain to north wall.
