Court Farm Barn, Llanthony Priory, Monmouthshire is a barn of late medieval origins which forms part of a group of historic buildings in the priory complex. It is a Grade I listed building.
The original barn was constructed as the gatehouse to Llanthony Priory. It is of 12th century origins. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-16th century, the building was converted to secular use as a barn. Subsequently, it fell into ruin. In the 19th century the Llanthony estate was purchased by the poet Walter Savage Landor and it is possible that he undertook some reconstruction.
The barn is constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble with a tiled roof. The interior has "a much earlier look" than the exterior, and may comprise more of the original 12th century work. The architectural historian John Newman describes the building as having been "extended and brutally adapted after the Dissolution.". One gable end (see photograph) has "a full-width arch..and above it a handsome group of three lancets."
