Description
This is a threshing barn located about 40 metres east of Hill, likely built in the 18th century. It is constructed of cob and features a corrugated iron roof, which was probably thatched originally. The barn has a rectangular shape with gabled ends on the left and a hipped end on the right. The front has large double doors in the center, with a small door and window in the lean-to on the right. At the rear left, there are the remains of a rounded stone rubble horse engine house, which is mostly in ruins. Inside, the barn has pegged collar rafter roof trusses with two collars. This barn is situated opposite and above Hill, making it the best-preserved building of the farmyard that likely belonged to Hill, and it plays an important role in the immediate setting of Hill, which it overlooks.
