Description
The cart shed, located approximately 20 metres to the north-west of Bere Barton, is likely a remnant of a medieval great barn that has been partly demolished and converted into an outbuilding, probably serving as a cart shed with a loft above. The structure features rubble walls and a roof that is partly slate and partly asbestos slate, hipped at the left end and half hipped at the right end. It consists of a 2/3 bay cart shed on the ground floor with a loft above, accessible via an external door at the gable end, which is built into the slope. The building incorporates remains of the medieval barn, which originally extended further to the left. It has two storeys and an asymmetrical front with three irregularly spaced openings; the middle opening may have been inserted later, while the outer openings are wide cart entrances with timber lintels. There is a doorway at the right-hand gable end leading to the first floor, featuring a stone arch. The rear wall includes part of a battered medieval wall with slit openings, extending to the south-east towards the house, which likely represents the remains of the large medieval barn.
