Description
Farfield Farm Barn is a barn built around 1780, constructed from hammer-dressed stone and topped with a stone slate roof. The barn features five bays and has quoins at the corners. The tall central cart-entry is notable for its composite jambs and a cantilevered segmental arch made from two canted monolithic stones, complete with a joggled keystone. To the left of the cart-entry, there are two doorways that include giant tie-stones. On the right side, there is a former mistal doorway that has been blocked, positioned lower and featuring tie-stone jambs and a punch-dressed lintel, along with a single arched vent. The right gable is coped and includes kneelers.
At the rear, there is a cart-entry similar to the front, flanked by square pitching-holes located under the eaves. Additionally, there is a doorway on the right that is blocked and partly buried, with a quoined lintel.
Inside, the doorways are fitted with inner arched wooden lintels and har-hung doors. The barn boasts a fine oak fish-bone king-post roof, which features curved angle struts and three trenched purlins on each side that support renewed soft-wood rafters.
