Description

Shebster Barn is a two-storey rectangular barn built in the earlier to mid-19th century. It features three bays and is constructed from rubble with tooled rubble dressings. The barn has long symmetrical elevations facing north and south, with doors located in the outer bays. The rear, on the east side, is blocked, and there are slit vents in both long elevations as well as in the ground and first floor of the west gable. The roof is made of graded Caithness slate.
