Outfarm. Mid C19. Mostly local stone rubble but some cob, mostly gable-ended slate roofs (now, March 1991, mostly stripped). PLAN: Valley bottom outfarm complex with stream running through north end of yard. Walled yard with linhay along south side and stables/byre along west side, both facing into the yard. Main entrance through wall on south side. Passage through from yard to outside across south end of stables/byres in front of linhay. Barn on rough north-south axis continues line of stables/byre and projects south beyond rear of linhay. South end of barn terraced into hillslope. Stables/Byre: This block is partly built of cob but is roofless and has mostly collapsed. There were 5 front doorways to yard: southern one to passage, others to stables/byres with blocked windows between. Remains of timber feeding troughs on stone base in front of rear feeding corridor. Hayloft has collapsed. Linhay: Open-fronted to yard, 5 bays with full-height stone rubble round piers. Tallet carried on series of relatively close-set squared crossbeams of large scantling. Common rafter roof with a collar to alternate couples. Barn: Central opposing large wagon entrance doorways to threshing floor. Southern end terraced into hillslope with large loading doorway and small doorway through north end to passge. No doors survive. Roof is hipped to north, gable-ended to south. 9-bay roof of tie beam trusses with nailed queen struts. Good example of a South Hams outfarm.
