Description
The barn located immediately to the northeast of Foxhole Farmhouse is a threshing barn dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of cob on stone rubble and features a bitumen-painted rag slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end. This barn, with large opposed doorways, forms the northern side of the farmyard in front of Foxhole Farmhouse. The central threshing area is single storey, and machinery was previously powered by a horse engine located on the north side, although there is no horse engine house. On either side of the threshing area, the barn is two storeys high, with the left-hand loft having been used as a granary.
The south elevation, which faces the farmyard, has a large central doorway with a slate canopy supported by brackets, along with smaller doorways on either side that are topped with timber lintels. There is also a loading door to the loft on the right. Inside, the barn features some pegged collar rafter roof trusses, and parts of the rear (north) threshing doors are original. This barn is part of a group of very unaltered buildings at Foxhole Farm.
