Description
This building is a bank barn located approximately 30 meters south of Rash House, on the opposite side of the lane. It is likely from the late 17th century or early 18th century and was enlarged in the 19th century. The barn is constructed of slobbered rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has a T-plan layout, consisting of a 5-bay main range built parallel to the slope on a north-south axis, with a 1-bay extension at the north end and a gabled wing on the west side.
The barn has two storeys, with a shippon (cattle shelter) located under the hay barn. The east side includes slit breathers and has a porch at the second bay, which has a monopitched roof that protects a wagon doorway with har-hung doors. There is a vertical joint at the extension on the north end, and loading doorways on either side of this. The north gable wall of the extension features one low window for the shippon. On the west side, there is a short two-storey wing at the third and fourth bays, which has a doorway on its north side and a loading doorway in the gable. To the left of this wing is a low shippon doorway, along with a larger shippon doorway to the extension and a small window next to it.
Inside, the hay barn has four collar trusses that support two pairs of purlins, including at least one reused cruck blade. The shippon includes lateral standings for six cattle. This barn forms a group with Rash House.
