Description
This early 18th century barn, located to the northwest of Ardoch Farm and the ruins of Ardoch House, features a rectangular plan and has undergone later repairs and alterations. The structure is built from rubble with harl-pointing and red sandstone dressings, and it showcases a moulded cornice and crowstepped gables.
On the west elevation, there is a blocked door at the center with red sandstone margins, flanked by three narrow ventilation slits arranged in two tiers to the left. To the right, a broad door has been opened, featuring a wooden lintel, with ventilation slits in the bay to the outer right.
The north and south gables each have a broad design with ventilation slits symmetrically placed from the ground to the gablehead.
The west elevation also includes a low blocked door off-center to the left, with three bays to the right that contain ventilation slits and a window opening at the upper stage to the right of the door. There is a door opening to the left with a cement lintel, flanked by additional ventilation slits.
The barn is topped with a graded grey slate roof, complete with lead flashings and console moulded skews.
