Barn Approximately 10 Metres West Of Taythes

This is a barn with an attached stable and privy, located approximately 10 meters west of Taythes. It likely dates from the 18th century, with a 19th-century addition. The building is constructed from roughly-coursed sandstone rubble, featuring quoins, and has a roof made of stone slates on the lower half and blue slates on the upper half. The barn has a rectangular plan oriented east-west, with the stable attached at the east end and the privy at the north-east corner.

The barn features a square-headed former doorway in the center, which has a timber lintel and has been reduced to half its original width by rubble walling on the right side. To the right of this doorway, there is another square-headed doorway with a monolith lintel. The stable, which is built against the right-hand gable of the barn, includes a loading doorway at the junction and a square-headed doorway at ground level next to the right-hand end, also with a massive monolithic lintel. The right-hand gable wall of the stable has through-stones on two levels and a lean-to privy at the rear corner. The rear of the barn features a large buttress at the center. The interior has not been inspected. This barn is included as part of a significant farm group with Taythes farmhouse.
