Description

The courtyard of farm buildings, located about 20 meters west of Druid House, consists of a barn and attached outbuildings dating from the early 19th century, with the date "WFW/1815" inscribed on a plaster panel in the barn. The structures are built of stone rubble and feature corrugated iron and asbestos roofs. The layout is U-shaped, with a bank barn on the north side, a lofted shippon on the west, and single-storeyed pigsties on the east, all enclosed by a low wall to the south.

The exterior of the bank barn includes four shippon doors facing the courtyard, with a timber lintel above a narrow plank door leading to the threshing floor above. There are brick pigeon-holes under the eaves. The pigsties have old plank doors with strap-hinges. The shippon features timber lintels over both loft and ground-floor doorways, along with a row of pigeon holes under the eaves. The doorway to the threshing floor at the rear of the barn has timber brackets and lintels supporting a lean-to hood. Additionally, there is a two-bay cartshed at the rear of the barn, with granite orthostats forming the wallplate.

Inside, the barn has plastered walls and an eight-bay collar truss roof, which has a halved and pegged apex and trenched purlins. Druid Farmhouse, which is not included in this listing, is located approximately 30 meters to the west. This complex is a notable example of a dated bank barn, with attached farm buildings arranged in a U-plan typical of the improved layouts of its time.
