Gally Gap Farm Buildings

Gally Gap Farm Buildings are a group of farm structures arranged around a stockyard, dating from the late 18th century. They are built of hammer-dressed sandstone with brick dressings and some brick repairs, topped with a pantile roof. To the east, there is a two-storey barn that provides shelter to single-storey stables, byres, and implement sheds on the other three sides of the rectangular stockyard, which is now partially roofed. A hayloft with a pigeoncote is located to the south-west. The two gable ends of the hayloft and barn create a balanced facade. This site is a notable example of a post-enclosure mixed farmstead and is illustrated in Weller J's "History of the Farmstead," published in 1982, Plate 24.
