structure of Ba2Fe8O14 with P-3m1 symmetry and c parameter about 9.6 A?
It is mentioned in several papers as 'early published'

The best ICSD does is BaFe4O7 with P63/m and c parameter 13.8A ie ~sqrt(2) times your c-parameter.

There are many similar barium ferrites, often with P63/mmc symmetry, differing in how Fe is ordered in the pyramidal holes. A common feature appears to be a layer of pairs of FeO4 pyramids joined along c by a common corner and separated by 0,1,2... layers of edge connected pyramids eg starting with the simplest where Fe is again Fe+++
