Description
This barn, located approximately 20 meters north-east of Blacker Hall Farmhouse, dates from the early to mid-17th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The barn has two storeys at the left end and consists of five bays, with quoins at the corners.
The central cart-entry is sheltered by a slight pent-porch and is flanked by an aisle that projects forward to the right. This aisle includes a 2-light chamfered mullioned window and a doorway set in the re-entrant angle, which has composite jambs and a large quoined lintel with a stop-chamfered surround. To the left of the entry is a similar doorway, while to the right is another 2-light window. A flight of 13 stone steps leads to a first-floor doorway, which also features composite jambs and a chamfered surround. There are 2-light windows on either side of this doorway. The gables are coped and have shaped kneelers.
At the rear, there is a tall cart-entry with a timber lintel and horizontal-hung doors, along with square breather holes. The left-hand return of the barn has a 2-light window on the first floor.
Inside, the barn features a 2-bay aisle with a post on a padstone, a braced aisle-tie, a straight braced arcade-plate, and a tie beam. The king-post trusses have stop-chamfered tie beams and single-angle struts. The bays to the left of the entry are blocked off by a stone wall that rises to the soffit of the tie beam, with brick infill above. The first-floor room was used for seasonal Irish labourers within living memory.
