Barn And Cowhouses About 30 Metres North Of Oldhouse

This building consists of a barn and cowhouses located about 30 metres north of Oldhouse. It dates from the 17th century, with additions from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The structure features a timber frame on a rubble plinth, with weatherboarding and rubble, topped by a roof made of corrugated iron, stone slate, and slate. The 17th-century barn has three framed bays and a central threshing floor, with an early 19th-century extension to the east of one roof bay. The cowhouses to the west consist of three roof bays, including two from the late 17th century and one from the 18th century. The barn has weatherboarded walls that are two square panels high, originally with woven infill, and straight angle braces at the gables. The south entrance features a 19th-century raking top over a raised lintel for cart entry. The trusses include an intermediate raking strut, and the gables have queen struts to the collar with V-struts in the apex. The cowhouse, with a 19th-century bay to the east and bays to the west of the barn, has rubble walls and low entries for the cows.
