Description

This is a barn located about 15 meters south-east of Foxworthy Farmhouse, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier. It is constructed from granite rubble and features a half-hipped roof covered with cedar shingles. The barn has one storey with a loft. The front side, facing the farmyard, has a small central doorway that is part of what seems to be the original barn door, which is now blocked. To the right, there is a large inserted doorway, and to the left, a flight of stone steps leads up to a loading door that is above the eaves level and has a gabled design. On the right-hand gable wall, there is another flight of stone steps leading to a loft door. The left gable wall includes a ventilation slit, and there are three windows on the wall facing the road. The floor and roof timbers were added in the 20th century. This barn is included for its group value with the surrounding buildings.
