Barn Approximately 50 Metres East Of Sheepcote Farmhouse

This barn, located approximately 50 metres east of Sheepcote Farmhouse, dates from the 16th century or earlier and has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with cladding made of magnesian limestone rubble and quoins, topped with a graduated stone slate roof, although the upper level has been replaced with Welsh slate. The barn has a rectangular five-bay plan, with a wagon entrance in the centre of the west side beneath a slightly raised roof. There are four half-height buttresses and two small square openings at different levels on the left side.

The north gable wall indicates a former steeper roof pitch at the lower level and contains different masonry at the apex. It also features triangular breathers on two levels, a raised doorway in the centre, and another door on the right-hand side.

Inside, the barn has four post-and-truss frames with intermediate supports resembling raked crutches that rise from the wall-plates to the aisle-plates. There are braces from the posts to the tie-beams and curved braces from the posts to the aisle-plates. The king-post roof trusses include curved longitudinal braces extending to the ridge. Some carpenters' marks, starting with the number "11," can be found on the frame nearest to the south end.
