Barn About 50 Metres East of Old Herstfield Farmhouse

This barn, located about 50 metres east of Old Herstfield Farmhouse, dates from the 15th or early 16th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, standing on a ragstone plinth, and features a plain tile roof. The structure consists of four timber-framed bays, with a midstrey in the second bay from the north. The south end bay is shorter than the others, and the barn has a steeply-pitched hipped roof with gablets. There is a low gabled weatherboarded porch on the east side, and lean-tos on the east and west sides of the two southern bays.

Attached to the north end is a single-storey 19th-century weatherboarded cattle shelter with a plain tile roof, open to the south side and supported by posts on tapering padstones, which still retains wooden feeding troughs. Inside, the barn features gunstock jowls on the principal posts, arch-braced tie-beams, and plain crown posts, each with two foot and two head braces. There are lapped collars and full-height intermediate posts flanking the midstrey. The east side of the two southern bays has stave, lath, and daub infilling above the midrail, along with tension braces and a threshing-floor brace.
