Description
The building is a field barn and shelter shed located at Blackdown Park Farm, dated 1765, featuring the initials RY. There is also a brick marking from 1825 with the inscription NEW HLD, indicating that the barn was re-roofed in that year. The barn is constructed of coursed stone rubble with brick quoins and has brick-edged ventilation slits arranged in two tiers. It has a half-hipped old tiled roof with weather-boarding on the lower part of the gable and central cart entrances. Inside, the barn has five bays with a roof structure that includes side purlins clasped on angled queen struts and diagonal tension braces. The softwood rafters and an inserted plank ridge-piece appear to date from 1825. Attached to the southwest is a three-bay shelter shed, also built of coursed stone rubble with a hipped tiled roof. This shelter shed is open-fronted, supported on wooden piers resting on padstones, and features a wooden feeding rack behind.
