Barn Approximately 40 Metres East Of Dornaford Farmhouse

This barn, located approximately 40 metres east of Dornaford Farmhouse, dates from the 16th or early 17th century. It features cob walls and a gable-ended corrugated iron roof. The barn has a long rectangular plan, with an off-central threshing floor and a separate animal house at the left-hand end. It is a single-storey structure with an asymmetrical front, which includes a cart entrance to the right of centre and a small window to the left of centre. There is a lean-to built against the right-hand side. Inside, the original roof trusses are intact, consisting of side-pegged jointed crucks with a high morticed cranked collar. This barn is a relatively unusual example of an early agricultural building that retains its original roof structure.
