We prove that every separable Banach space has a barrelled subspace with algebraic dimension non(\mathcal M), which denotes the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of \mathbb R. This strengthens a theorem of Sobota. More generally, we prove that every Banach space with density character κ contains a barrelled subspace with algebraic dimension cf[κ]ω⋅ non(\mathcal M), and in particular it is consistent with ZFC that every Banach space with density character < \mathfrakc has a barrelled subspace with dimension < \mathfrakc. We also prove that if the dual of a Banach space contains either c0 or ℓp for some p ≥ 1, then that space does not have a barrelled subspace with dimension < cov(\mathcal N), which denotes the smallest cardinality of a collection of Lebesgue null sets covering \mathbb R. In particular, it is consistent with ZFC that no classical Banach spaces contain barrelled subspaces with dimension \mathfrakb. This partly answers a question of Sánchez Ruiz and Saxon.
