Cadw's description
Location
About 2.2km NW of the church of St Dingat, in a very isolated position at the end of a long farm track curving NW off the N side of a minor road. About 30m W of Parlour Farmhouse.
History
Probably built in the later C17 or earlier C18; altered.
Exterior
A 5-bay timber-framed and weather-boarded barn with dwarf side walls of random rubble, red brick gables, blue slate roof with corrugated sheet to the lower slope. The east elevation has a full-height wagon doorway in the centre with vertically-boarded double doors, and horizontal weather-boarding to the other bays. (W elevation not inspected.)
Interior
Four cross-frames with angle-struts to the tie-beams, and collar trusses carrying two tiers of slightly-trenched purlins.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-preserved timber-framed barn, and for group value with Parlour Farmhouse (q.v.).
