Exterior
Large barn built of local rubble stone limewashed over, Welsh slate roof. Rectangular barn with almost central opposed cart doors to the threshing floor. The north elevation is as built except for the plank doors which were replaced in the C19. The wall is covered by three tiers of square vents, five on the left and six on the right. The end walls also have a triangle of these in the gable. The south elevation is partly obscured by a C20 cowshed which abuts it.

Reason for designation
Included as a fine C17 barn which has important group value with the other buildings at Henrhiw Farm.
