Description

Westen Barn at Town End is a large barn, likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The long south side of the barn has two segmental arched cart entries, one of which has an now illegible plaque above it. There are two outshuts; one is rounded and lower than the main roof, while the other has a catslide roof. The barn is included for its group value.
