Description

This is a barn, likely built in the late 18th century, with a gingang added to the east end of Townhead Farmhouse, which dates to the early 19th century. The barn is constructed from squared tooled stone and features a slate roof, while the gingang has an asbestos roof. The hexagonal gingang, located on the north side of the barn, is supported by stepped stone piers and has a pyramidal roof. There is a boarded door in the barn to the right of the gingang. This building is included for its group value with the farmhouse.
