Description

This is a field barn with a barn over, now serving as a barn, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with quoins and features a stone-flagged roof. The building has two storeys and consists of two bays, with a one-bay pent addition on the right. The central entrance is a boarded door set in a plain stone surround, flanked by short windows that have glazing bars and top-hung lights, all under stone lintels. There is an off-centre loading door on the first floor. The left end has a massive truncated chimney. The extension also has a boarded door. The gable ends feature throughstones, and there is a curved wall set back on the left that forms a small enclosure.
