Description

This barn, located approximately 100 metres south west of Drummersdale Farmhouse, is likely from the late 17th century. It is constructed of handmade brick resting on a stone plinth, topped with a stone slate roof. The barn has a rectangular three-bay layout oriented north to south, with an additional bay added at the southern end. There are opposed wagon entrances in the original middle bay, with a full-height entrance on the east side and a half-height entrance on the west side. Slit breathers are present on all sides, although those on the south gable are covered by a later addition. A doorway is located near the front of the north gable, and there is a square loading door for the loft. Inside, the barn features two original collar trusses with angle struts and two pairs of trenched overlapped purlins.
