The barn is probably early C18, with a lower later range to the N. In the C19 it was enlarged creating the present enclosed farmyard.
Large barn of masonry rubble under a slate roof with a later wing at right-angles. Wagon bay just N of centre. The E (exterior side) has boarded double doors under a slate covered canopy with 3 pairs of vertically aligned ventilation slits to the L and 2 pairs to the R. At the R end is a boarded door. To the W (courtyard-facing) side are metal doors flanked by ventilation slits to match those on the E side. To the L a window, probably a former door. The S gable end has 2 ventilation slits and a loft hatch. To the N is a lower range. It has a window under a long timber lintel to the E side. This range was extended to the W in the C19 where it meets the downhill range of the house. The extension is of 2-bays, the W of which contains a wide through-passage providing access to the courtyard and house. Against the W end of the extension and the N gable end of the house is a small lean-to stable.
The barn has a 6-bay interior. Queen post trusses, with some beams slightly chamfered. The wagon bay has a stone threshing floor. Raised loft to N with door leading to basement cow-house. Further raised area to S of wagon bay. Two doors lead from the basement cow-house to the later lower range. At the top of this wall, 2 ventilation slits are visible, one converted to a small window. This and most of the W wing were used as milking parlours in the C20 and contain concrete partitions and floors. The W bay of the W wing has a through-passage with cobbled floor and queen post trusses.
Included for group value with Pencilau Farmhouse as a good C18 barn with associated agricultural ranges.
