Description

Threshing barn of 7 bays, each bay articulated by ground and loft ventilation slits. Built of rubble masonry, the central wide opposing doorways have dressed stone voussoir heads; smaller doorway to R. Roof of slates laid to diminishing courses with stone ridge. To the R of the main threshing door there is a weighbridge formed of a rectangular metal plate on the ground; a small 4-paned light has been cut to allow viewing of weighing scales housed inside. The narrow doorway to R is also a later cut. The gable elevations are also pierced by ventilation slits; 3 to ground and 1st floors, with 2 in the gable apex. The rear threshing door has been partially infilled with brick and now houses a 16-pane sash window.

Rough hewn beams and collared trusses; massive cross beams at 1st floor level show evidence of joists to a former loft floor. One beam bears the carved initials and date: W E J / 1732. The wide threshing doors have large tulip headed hinges.
