Description
The barn located west of Forge House is a 19th-century structure built from rough and angular local granite, featuring large squared quoins and a graduated greenslate roof. It has a rectangular plan with small outshuts on the south gable and west elevation.
This three-bay barn is oriented north-south along a minor road that separates it from the Grade II listed Forge House and its attached buildings. The long east elevation includes a central cart opening with a cambered arch, alongside a blocked door and window opening to the right. There are ventilation slits on either side of the entrance at the upper level. The south gable features a small 20th-century outshut and an owl hole at the apex, with a similar owl hole present in the north gable. The west elevation has a later 19th-century outshut attached to its north end and shows the remains of a blocked cart entrance. One of the quoins is crudely inscribed with initials and the date 1812 or 1819.
Inside, the barn contains wooden stalls and feeders, along with remnants of a cobbled floor. The original roof structure consists of a through purlin design with two pegged trusses, one of which has angle struts, and rough purlins. The nature of the trusses suggests they may have been re-used from an earlier building.
