Description
The barn located immediately northwest of Stamborough Farmhouse dates from the early 17th century and is constructed from slate rubble. It features a gable-ended roof covered in corrugated sheet steel. The barn has a five-bay plan and is built into a hillside, with doorways located in the second bay from the lower northern end. In the 19th century, a loft floor was added in the lower end bay, which includes a cider press underneath.
The east front of the barn has a doorway to the right of the center, featuring a timber lintel and an original chamfered wooden frame with a Tudor arch head. There is a similar doorway on the west side, although the masonry to the left of this doorway has collapsed. Ventilation slits are present in the end gables.
Inside, the barn retains a complete five-bay roof structure supported by side-pegged jointed cruck trusses with mortice and tenoned cranked collars. It has two tiers of trenched side purlins and a trenched diagonally-set ridgepiece, with surviving end hips. The common rafters and thatch battens are intact on the east side, while some common rafters on the west side have been reused longitudinally across the bays. The building also features a stone floor and a ladder leading to the loft at the lower end, with the cider press situated below.
