Cruck Framed Barn, Greenfield Farm, Kilmonivaig

Greenfield barn is a single-storey, cruck-framed barn, likely dating from the later to late-18th century. It has a red corrugated iron roof with three rooflights. The walls are built of random rubble stone, battered and with a boulder base, and are harled. Triangular vents are present in the east and west elevations. A single entrance is in the west elevation, and a larger opening with a two-leaf timber door is in the east elevation.

Inside, jointed and pegged crucks are set into the walls and rise above ground level. Five cruck blades support a ridge pole and trunk purlins, potentially made of birch, larch, or Scots pine. Replacement timber planks provide additional support to the cruck framework in certain areas. A large entrance opening with ledged, braced doors in the north elevation leads to an adjoining Nissen hut. To the east of the barn are two parallel byres; one has a slate roof, and the other is of similar Nissen hut construction, and both date from the 20th century.

Historical records indicate Greenfield was a substantial township in the 18th century, largely abandoned in the 1790s and re-occupied as an agricultural settlement in the 1840s and 1850s. An estate map from 1840 shows Greenfield to the east of the Greenfield Burn, a tributary of Loch Garry. The farm was a tenant holding on the Glengarry estate, historically owned by the MacDonnells of Glengarry and later sold to the Marquis of Huntly in 1836. Edward Ellice MP purchased the Glengarry estate in 1860, adding it to his Highland sporting estate, and the farm operated initially as a sheep farm, raising Cheviot sheep alongside cattle. The farm included both meadow and arable land. Newspaper advertisements from the 1870s and 1880s suggest Greenfield Farm was let as a single holding, combining with neighbouring Garrygualach Farm to the west.
