Thanks all.

Well, a barrier is a Point, and a building is an Area - the iD editor
doesn't let you combine them. This is not the first time I've been
confused by this distinction. It seems to me that a lot of things which
are nominally points, could just as easily be areas/buildings if you
zoom in far enough when editing. For example a telephone kiosk,
especially one now used as a village library. Also pylons, masts, etc.,
which can occupy a considerable area at ground level.
In this case I have now created two separate objects - a building as a
weather_shelter, with description=lych_gate. And inside it a separate
point as barrier = gate on the public right of way (foot path) which
runs through it.
Thanks.
Martin.
