Carr House Barn

Carr House Barn is a barn dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone-slate roof. The barn has a single aisle and consists of four bays. The corners are accentuated with quoins. In the second bay, there is a cart entry with composite jambs and a flat arch that includes margin-dressed skewbacks, voussoirs, and a keystone. To the right, there is a later outshut with a lean-to roof that is in a ruinous state.

On the rear side, there is a plinth and a small square window located to the left in the fourth bay. The cart entry on the rear is positioned between the first and second bays, but it is partly blocked and has a window with a short lateral stack above the right corner. The right-hand return features a central doorway facing the farmhouse, which has composite jambs and a flat-arched lintel with voussoirs. To the right, at a lower level, there is a mistal doorway leading to the aisle, which has a punched-dressed quoined lintel.

Inside, the first two bays of the aisle have stone walls on either side of the rear cart entry and a stone-flagged threshing floor with raised curb stones that connect to the front cart entry. The third and fourth bays are open, supported by posts on tall dressed padstones, with wall ties and straight braces connecting to the arcade-plate and tie-beam. The roof features a fish-bone king-post design with two purlins that are morticed and pegged through each principal rafter, and it retains its original rafters.

This barn is noted as an unusual late survival of an aisled barn.
