Situated at the back of the farmyard at Lower Llancayo, just W of B4598 at Llancayo.
History
Very large earlier C19 barn built for the Llancayo House estate. An old photograph shows stone tiles on the roof. Marked on 1842 Tithe Map.

Barn, rubble stone with corrugated iron hipped roof. Large and grandly symmetrical with three tall arched entries each side, with red brick segmental arches, the roof extended over projecting porches on each end of the S front, and the middle on the N front has a full height projecting hipped porch (the massive slates recorded in 1980 have gone). Between the doors are double rows of three vent loops, one altered to opening on N side.
N porch has low doors each side, timber lintels, brick relieving arch. Piers of front wall to central porch are splayed out at base.
Added range to W, rubble stone and corrugated iron, lofted, with door and window at right end of S front and window and door above. Brick heads.
