Description

This is a barn located on the southwest side at Annables Farm, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features a timber frame with a red brick base and some red brick infill, topped by a plain tile roof. The barn consists of four bays built using queen post construction, with chamfered main posts that have shallow jowls. There is a gabled cart entrance positioned towards the right center of the structure. Although partly derelict, the barn has 17th or 18th century lean-to additions on either side, each of which retains a square wooden lattice window. There is also some brick infill from the 19th or 20th century.
