Barn at Cuttivett

Early C19 roofless barn, with later extension.

MATERIALS: the barn is constructed of slatestone rubble on a plinth, banded on all sides in dark and light stone, with greenstone dressings.

PLAN: of two-storeys, rectangular in plan with gable ends, with a later single-storey lean-to to the north. At the east end is a partially-collapsed external stone stair which led to a loft.

DETAILS: the south (main) elevation has three doorways with greenstone voussoired lintels. At first-floor level to the east is an opening for a loading door with a timber lintel; there is a date stone (inscription illegible) to its left. On the east elevation is an external stair (partially collapsed) to an opening to first-floor level, and there are two rows of square pigeon-holes above in the gable end. The west elevation has two openings at ground-floor level with timber lintels, and an owl hole in the gable. To the north is an early-C20 single-storey rubble lean-to with later concrete blockwork and a corrugated asbestos roof. Adjacent to this is a former concrete water tank. There is another upper opening for a loading door to the east of this with a blocked doorway below.

The roof (formerly a slurried scantle-slate roof with halved and pegged principal rafters) has collapsed into the barn and some of the upper areas of the walls have disintegrated. No details are available about the interior.
