The upper floor or story of a barn used specifically for storing hay.
Compound of 'hay' and 'loft' (upper floor); 'loft' comes from Old Norse and Old English origins meaning upper chamber.
Haylofts are iconic to barn architecture—the hay is stored high to save floor space and because warm air rises, naturally drying the hay, while the structural beams have to be massive to support tons of hay weight.
