Barn, Shippon And Foldyard, Wall About 200 Metres South Of East Soar Farmhouse

This building is a field barn, foldyard, and shippon located about 200 metres south of East Soar Farmhouse. It likely dates from the late 17th century or 18th century, with 19th-century alterations and the addition of the shippon. The structure is made of stone rubble with cob tops on the barn walls. The barn features a half-hipped corrugated iron roof, while the shippon has a gable-ended slate roof.

The barn has opposing doorways to the left of centre and is floored at the right end, which is built into a bank and has access to the first floor. A rear doorway was later blocked, and a ramp was constructed on the near left side leading to a wide first floor doorway. Outshuts were added at the front, and a single-storey detached shippon was built at a right angle to the barn, facing a foldyard that is enclosed by a curved wall on the south and east sides.

On the exterior, the barn roof extends over the outshuts at the front, featuring a wide doorway to the left of centre and a smaller doorway to the right, both facing the foldyard. The right side has a curved dry-stone wall, and the shippon opposite has two cambered brick arch doorways on the right, along with a doorway and window on the left and a ventilation slit at the north end. The rear of the barn includes a stone rubble ramp leading to a wide first floor doorway on the right and a blocked doorway to the right of centre. The ground level is higher at the east end, which has a first floor doorway and a small ventilation slit at the west end.

Inside, the barn features a mainly later (probably 19th-century) roof structure, with high collars bolted or nailed to closely spaced principal rafters. However, four of the south principals at the east end have curved elbows pegged to their feet, resembling jointed crucks. The floor at the east end has been removed, and a recess in the southwest corner was likely used for farming when the outshuts were added, with the southwest corner having been rebuilt. There are stone rubble troughs in the outshuts at the front of the barn and in the shippon, which also has a 19th-century roof structure.
