Barn W of Muchelney Abbey is a medieval agricultural building forming part of the monastic complex at Muchelney in Somerset. The barn dates from the later medieval period and represents the type of substantial stone-built structure that would have served the abbey's farming operations and storage needs. It survives as a testament to the economic organisation of the monastery, which controlled considerable agricultural estates in the surrounding landscape. The building contributes to the archaeological and architectural record of monastic life during the later Middle Ages in south-western England.
