Description

This is a barn and attached cowhouse with a hayloft, built in the late 18th century, located approximately 50 metres to the west of Lundhill Farmhouse. The structure is made of coursed, squared sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof with stone slate at the eaves. It has an L-shaped plan and is mostly two storeys high.

The barn section has quoins and two large cart entrances with quoined surrounds and depressed three-centred arches that include projecting keystones. There is a central ground-floor door with a square-faced surround and an ashlar-dressed pitching hole above it. The left end of the barn has moulded kneelers and gable copings. The cowhouse block on the right has six irregularly spaced doors, all featuring heavy ashlar surrounds. The door on the left and the third door from the left both have round-arched lintels. The rightmost door is set beneath stone steps leading to a square-headed doorway.

On the first floor, there is a circular pitching hole to the left of centre, flanked by square loft openings that have projecting sills and square-faced surrounds. To the left of the steps, there are two casements, one above the other, both in square-faced surrounds. The left end of the building has stone slates. There is also evidence of a demolished horse-engine house at the rear right corner of the barn. This building is included for its group value. Low roadside buildings attached to the front left of the barn are not of special interest.
