Lower Barn And Adjoining Outbuildings

This is a late 18th-century barn and associated outbuildings constructed of thinly-bedded limestone, with a stone slate roof on the barn and a Roman tile roof on the shelter shed. The barn is rectangular in plan, featuring a projecting half-hipped porch on its south side and single-width lean-to extensions on either side of the porch. An 'L'-shaped open-fronted store is attached to the west gable end of the barn. The porch on the north side also projects and is hipped. The west gable end of the barn has a blocked pitching window, a ventilation slit, and an owl hole. A ventilation slit is also present on the east gable end. The shelter shed has six bays divided by timber uprights, set on pyramidal limestone padstones. Original wooden feeding troughs remain at the rear of the shelter shed. Internally, the barn has three bays with the original pegged collar and tie beams, though the rafters were replaced in the 20th century. Part of the shelter shed roof was missing tiles at the time of a resurvey in October 1986.
