Description

1. Barn with cruck trusses and timber framed walls; has strongly battered stone gables.

2. The building comprised a combination variant bank barn built into a steep south-facing slope, comprising a threshing floor accessed from the east, with a hayloft, possibly extending the entire length of the building above, and byre and later stables incorporated into the lower downslope construction. Upland combination barns were usually sub-medieval or later in date but were still used in their original configuration until well into the 19th century when they were usually displaced by more specialised agricultural buildings.
