Cruck-framed building, Priorslynn

Probably built in the second half of 18th century. Clay-walled and cruck-framed agricultural building. Two compartments perhaps originally comprising barn and byre/stable, but now a store. Long rectangular-plan with clay-walled central partition and five pairs of crucks.

Outer walls: rubble footings, narrow coursed clay/pebble mix bound with intermediate layers of straw; substantial repairs in rubble and ashlar including some 19th century stugged quoins. Rectangular opening central on south wall of each compartment with ashlar dressings. Original walling badly damaged at west and replaced by corrugated iron sheeting.

Crucks: fairly large and well-wrought crucks on stone footings set within wall thickness; collar-beams half-lap jointed and pegged to blades. Central cruck frame encased by partition wall, latter stabilised by timber lath frame. West compartment (original byre/stable) has cobbled floor, and brick repairs on inner face of west gable. East part (at slightly higher level) has earthen floor.

Roof originally thatched, now covered with corrugated iron.
