Saltway Barn And The Adjoining Cartshed

Saltway Barn and the adjoining cartshed are structures dating from the late 18th century. They are built of limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins. The barn features a stone slate roof, while the adjoining shelter shed has a concrete tile roof, and the cart store/shelter shed is topped with a corrugated iron roof.

The barn has a rectangular plan with projecting porches on the north and south sides. There is an open-fronted shelter shed at the east gable end and a further open-fronted cart store or shelter shed at a right angle to the south-west corner. The south front has a central gabled porch with double plank doors and lean-tos with plank doors on either side of the porch. The north front features a double doorway within a lean-to porch.

The five-bay shelter shed has square-sectioned stone-built piers at the front facing south, which retains an early feeding trough at the rear. The eight-bay open-fronted cart store/shelter shed is positioned at right angles to the barn and is supported by machine-sawn timber uprights on pyramidal limestone padstones at the front. The interior of the barn is not accessible.
