Barn at Pant

The barn at Pant is a likely 15th to 16th century agricultural building featuring five bays. It has a timber frame supported by cruck trusses and is clad in weatherboarding, with a corrugated iron roof that has replaced the original stone slates. The main barn consists of four bays, supported by three cruck couples and box-framed ends, with the northeast bay originally filled. The crucks are smoothly curved and include collars and ties that are halved in, with vertically mitred and tenoned joints, and the apex is trenched for a diagonal ridge, classified as Type B. The blades were originally trenched for two tiers of purlins; however, two purlins are now carried on outriders on each side, meeting the extended ends of the ties. Battens for slating are torched. The walls are constructed of square framing set on high stone sill walls that follow the natural lie of the land and were originally filled with wattle and daub. Tension braces are present in the gable ends. A bay was added at the northeast end to serve as a stable, under an extension of the roof. An extension on the side is also indicated on the tithe award.
