Description
The barn north of Priestland is a late 17th-century structure featuring an oak boarded timber frame and a corrugated metal sheet roof. It consists of three truss bays and is set on a sandstone plinth. The timberwork includes fairly close timbers, a single middle rail, and long tension braces. The barn has plain board doors and carved finials at the gable ends.
Inside, the barn showcases trusses with tie beams, collars, and queen posts. It retains original purlins, wind braces, and a ridge tree, along with paired struts reaching to the gable end apexes.
