Description

This is a barn located to the northeast of Tranthwaite Hall Farmhouse, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It has an L-shaped layout, with the eastern wing being the earliest section. The barn features stone rubble walls with limestone quoins and a graduated slate roof topped with stone ridge tiles. The eastern wing consists of a mix of boulders and roughly squared rubble, with protruding through stones. The northern part of the barn is designed as a bank barn, running parallel to the contours of the land, with a threshing floor situated above stables and a cowhouse. There is a round-headed winnowing door with a surround of cut voussoirs. A continuous slated canopy provides shelter for the doors of the cowhouse and stable. The eastern part of the barn also functions as a bank barn, positioned at right angles to the contours, featuring a hay barn in the upper section and a cowhouse below, which is accessed from the gable end. A lean-to with a corrugated iron roof is not included in the listing.
