Description

This is a barn located approximately 15 metres south of North Creaber Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, with possible origins in the 16th century. It is constructed from granite stone rubble laid in rough courses, featuring massive dressed quoins, and some of the lower walls are made of large squared blocks. The barn has a corrugated iron roof, which was formerly thatch.

The barn is oriented to the northwest and is built down a hillslope. The left section has been divided into a byre with a hayloft. In the centre, there are opposing doorways leading to the threshing floor, with the front doorway being full height and fitted with large double doors. To the right of this doorway, there is a hayloft loading hatch. On the left, there is a doorway leading to the byre, which also has a hayloft loading hatch above it, and a small slit window at the left end. The rear doorway is smaller and has a shoulder-headed design, suggesting a possible 16th-century domestic origin, although there is no other evidence of former domestic use. The roof is gable-ended.

Inside, the byre features a roughly-finished axial beam of indeterminate date. The roof has been replaced in the 20th century, and the joinery details are from the 19th century. The barn, the shippon, and North Creaber Farmhouse form an attractive group.
