Byre North East Of Cumcatch

The building is a byre, formerly known as a bastle house, dating from the late 16th century with alterations and additions from the 19th century. The north-east wall is made of very thick mixed rubble, and there are rubble additions. It has a Welsh slate roof with stone ridge and hips. Originally, the structure was likely two storeys and probably consisted of three bays. Currently, only the north-east wall remains, with early 19th-century additions on both the left and right sides, all under a common roof. The south-west wall has been rebuilt, and lean-to farm buildings now cover part of the north wall and the entire south wall.

There is one small window with a chamfered surround next to a 19th-century entrance; this window is the only original opening still visible, although it once had holes for cross bars that have since been removed. The original entrances to the ground and upper floors were likely located in the south-west wall, but there are no internal remains of stone vaulting. There is another filled entrance to the right, which is probably from the 18th century and features a wooden lintel. In the Gilsland Survey of 1603, this building is referred to as "a faire stonehouse."
