Description

This building is an outbuilding located 30 metres north of Hayrake Farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It features a slightly later second bastle added to the north and has undergone alterations. Constructed from rubble with heavy, roughly-shaped quoins and stone dressings, it has a 20th-century asbestos roof. The structure is two storeys high and was originally designed with two bays on each floor.

The elevation facing the farmyard includes a ground-floor slit window and a first-floor boarded door with a triangular head and chamfered surround. To the left, there is a 20th-century barn door with a pitching opening above it. The left return side has a blocked door with a wooden lintel and a 18th-century outshut to the left. The right return features a blocked central door with a triangular head, and above it, to the left, is a square-headed door with a chamfered surround.

Inside, there is a central principal-rafter truss with a collar and two levels of purlins. The south gable has a recessed flue supported by corbels that once held the original stack. Adjacent to the outbuilding is a ruined bastle to the north, which has a north gable featuring a central triangular-headed doorway and a small rectangular window above. The extended bastle was home to Thomas Williamston, a dissenter (Quaker) who died in 1690, and his grave is located 50 metres south of the present farmhouse.
