Description
This is a seven-bay threshing barn with an adjoining four-bay hay barn and a byre, dating from the 18th century. The buildings are constructed of rubble sandstone, although the threshing barn roof is now covered with corrugated asbestos sheeting.
The threshing barn has a gabled wagon entrance porch, flanked by lean-to additions. A wide, almost full-height entrance is set under a flat segmental arch with projecting stones (voussoirs). A string course runs across the gable at eaves height, above which is a ventilation slit, and in the apex there is an owl hole set in a square stone panel. The lean-to on the left has a corrugated iron roof with a planked door, while the one on the right has a corrugated plastic roof, a central shuttered window, a planked door to its left, and a blocked door to its right. Another string course sits above the lean-to roofs, matching the height of the eaves and the string course on the cross gable. The rear (west) side of the threshing barn has double doors set under a segmental arch with voussoirs, flanked by a blocked window to the right and two ventilation strips to the north.
The hay barn, adjoining the threshing barn to the north, is open-sided with almost full-height round headed openings. It is built of rubble sandstone with stone dressings, including voussoirs, and has a slate roof slightly lower than the threshing barn roof. The north gable end has two round headed openings, and two square openings with stone sills and wooden lintels. An apex ventilation slit is also present. A single-storey lean-to range abuts the south side and has a central panelled door under wooden boarding, flanked by window openings with segmental heads and stone sills. Fragments of the two-light casement frames remain.
The porch has doorways to the left and right leading into the lean-tos, both under timber lintels and high round relieving arches. The doorway into the threshing barn itself is under a segmental arch with voussoirs. The rear door of the barn is flanked by buttresses, and the through-passage has a flagstone floor. Internally, the barn has a simple queen post roof. To the left (south), the timber framing of the loft is visible; three cross beams are present, but no floorboards remain. Internal walls flanking the entrances have two long ventilation slits each, most of which are now blocked. The north gable end has three ventilation slits, with the bottoms of two blocked, and a further one in the gable apex. A square opening at a high level leads into the hay barn, set under a high round relieving arch that cuts through the central ventilation slits, indicating that the hay barn is a later construction.
