Description
The barn, dating from the 18th century, has undergone later alterations. It is built of random stone rubble and concrete blocks, topped with a roof covered in corrugated metal sheeting.
The barn is part of a linear range that once enclosed the west side of a narrow, rectangular yard. This range originally included three attached buildings, but the central building is no longer present, and the southern building has been extensively rebuilt in the 20th century. The east side of the yard is defined by the farmhouse and an attached agricultural building at its north end.
This single-storey, single-depth barn consists of four bays. The main (east) elevation features a pedestrian entrance with a plank door, a large full-height opening with a modern metal door, and a high-set taking-in door. The central section of the wall has been partially rebuilt. There is also an opening in the south gable wall. The west elevation has been partially rebuilt with concrete blocks and includes a 20th-century metal-framed window. The roof structure consists of three principals with applied collars, pegged at the apex, a tie beam to the central truss, long diagonal bracing, and two rows of purlins. Some 20th-century timbers were added when the roof covering was replaced.
