Description
This is a barn and dovecot located approximately 3 meters northwest of Croft Farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of random rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof. The barn has seven bays and a south-facing porch, with a loft over at the east end that is accessed by external stone steps.
On the east gable end, stone steps lead to a doorway with nosing to the upper landing. There is a plank loft door with a timber lintel and four rows of pigeon holes in the gable, complete with perches. To the left of the steps is a plank door with a deep stone lintel, and there is an opening to the underside of the steps. The gabled south porch has plank barn doors and a timber lintel, with a weather-boarded gable.
A continuous outshut extends to the right, featuring a lean-to roof that is hipped at the east end. This outshut contains two plank doors and small windows, all with timber lintels, as well as large plank doors on the east end return of the outshut. The north side has a large barn doorway with a timber lintel opposite the south porch, along with two small windows at a high level, also with timber lintels. Inside, the barn features a tie-beam and collar truss roof with two rows of purlins, and there is a stone threshing floor between the barn doorways with transverse ridges about 1 meter apart.
