Description

This barn, located approximately 15 meters west of Peggles Wright Farmhouse, is likely from the late 18th century and has been extended. It is constructed from roughly-coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof. The barn has a rectangular plan positioned at right angles to the hillside, with a stable at the higher north end and a shippon added to the west side.

The central part of the barn includes a segmental-headed wagon doorway with a dressed chamfered surround. To the left, there is a square-headed doorway with a stable door, featuring a monolith lintel and a slate drip-course above. Between these doorways, there is one slit breather, and above, there are eight similar breathers. To the right, there are square-headed doorways now covered by a 20th-century corrugated sheet roof.

At the north end, built into the bank, is a two-bay stable with a hay-loft, which has two doorways accessed by a long L-shaped ramp. The left gable features three small windows and three breathers above. A lean-to shippon covers the rear wall. The barn forms a group with Peggles Wright Farmhouse, located approximately 15 meters to the east.
