Barn And Linhay Approximately 3 Metres North Of Heath Farmhouse

The barn and linhay, located approximately 3 metres north of Heath Farmhouse, is likely from the 18th century. It is constructed of local stone rubble with cob wall tops and has a corrugated iron roof, which was formerly thatch. The building has an L-shaped layout, facing into the farmyard behind Heath Farmhouse.

On the east side of the yard, the threshing barn faces west and features large opposing double doors leading to the threshing floor, positioned to the right of centre. There is also a hayloft loading hatch above a small doorway at the rear left. All doors date from the 19th century. The barn's roof is hipped at both ends.

An open-fronted linhay projects forward at a right angle from the left end of the barn. This linhay is unusual in design, consisting of 2 bays for cow byres on the ground floor and 3 bays for the tallet or hayloft above. A large beam with enormous scantling spans the front. The lower timbers appear to be secondary or replacements, while the upper timbers are original and rise through the tallet to support the outer principals of A-frame trusses. The roof over the linhay is half-hipped to the left.

Inside, the barn is open to the roof, which is supported by A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars, and there are smaller similar trusses over the linhay.
