Cadw's description
Location
In the farmyard of Llawhaden House, about 20 m SW of the dovecote.
History
Not shown on the Tithe Map of 1839, but probably built shortly thereafter. The loft of this barn is probably the place referred to in the Church guide book as used for services during the rebuilding of St Aidan's Church in 1861.
Exterior
A building of rubble masonry, with low-pitched hipped roofs, slated with tile ridges. Tall double doors facing the S with a deep elliptical arch. Three windows in the loft, half glazed and half boarded.There are doors opposite in the N wall (within a later steel-framed lean-to) but much smaller. At the S side, towards the E, are original external stairs to a quarter landing and the loft door. The upper flight of stairs to the loft are internal.
Interior
Roof of common collar-beam trusses, in five bays plus the hipped ends.
Reason for designation
Listed for Group Value with Llawhaden House and as part of a complete mid C19 farmstead.
