barns

Hayloft housing places

Barns is the plural of barn, a large farm building for storing grain, hay, or equipment, or for housing livestock.

The word also appears in phrases: They were raised in different barns, suggesting contrasting upbringings.

In physics, a barn is a unit measuring the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei—so named because physicists joked that hitting one was "as big as a barn."
