Tretower Barn is a medieval agricultural building located in Breconshire, Wales, forming part of the historic settlement complex at Tretower. The barn dates to the medieval period and represents the working agricultural infrastructure associated with the manorial estate, reflecting the subsistence and surplus production systems that sustained medieval Welsh communities. Built in timber-frame construction typical of medieval agricultural buildings in the region, the structure demonstrates the physical arrangement of storage and processing facilities essential to rural medieval economy. The barn's survival and scheduling as a scheduled ancient monument (SAM BR146) recognises its importance as evidence of medieval Welsh agricultural practice and settlement organisation.
