Description
This barn, located approximately 75 metres east of Littlewood Hall Farmhouse, dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century and was altered in the 18th century. It features a plinth made of three courses of sandstone blocks and brick walls that replaced the original timber-framed walls, topped with a slate roof. The barn has five bays and tall wagon doors located in the middle bay. The north gable displays an exposed roof truss with a kingpost and three raked struts on each side.
Inside, some wallposts are visible beside the doorways, which have timber-framed panels above the lintels with straight bracing to the wallplate. Other wallposts are likely still present but encased in brick piers. The barn includes scarf-jointed wallplates, four collar trusses with angle struts, and tie-beams that have vacant mortices for former arch bracing. There are also two pairs of trenched purlins, with the lower ones windbraced from below. The visible structure of this barn is similar to that of the oxen house immediately to the west, suggesting they were built around the same time.
