Description
Shab Hill Barn is a barn built in the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins and features a stone slate roof. The barn has a rectangular plan with a projecting porch and lean-tos on either side of the west side, and a similar arrangement on the east side. The central gabled porch on the west side includes double plank doors on wooden pivots and a projecting canopy. There is a plank door and a blocked ventilation slit in the lean-to to the left, and a ventilation slit in the lean-to to the right. Doorways lead from the porch to both lean-tos. The left gable end has ventilation slits, a pitching window, and an owl hole above. The lean-to porch on the east side has low double doors. Inside, the barn features five bays with collar and tie-beam trusses flanking the former threshing floor, bolted arch-braced trusses with king struts, and double butt purlins.
