Description

Westfield Barn is an early 18th-century field barn with an adjoining cow shelter to the east. It is constructed of rubble stone with quoins and features a Cotswold stone slate roof. The barn consists of three bays supported by collar and tie beam trusses, with trenched purlins and wind bracing. There is a projecting gabled cart entry on the south side, which has double timber doors, a pitch hole in the west gable, and a small ground floor entrance to the north under a wooden lintel. The single-storey cow shelter to the right has an enclosed bay on the left, followed by two bays with a central cylindrical stone pier. The shelter turns the corner to the south and has a double Roman tile roof supported by three plain wooden piers, with a similar shelter on the west side. A wall to the south completes the yard, although these latter features are not of special interest.
