Abstract: |
The survey comprised a photographic survey, paying attention to the methods of construction, chronological development and alterations, and features of special interest. Plans and elevations obtained from the client were checked, modified and annotated onsite where appropriate.
Digital images were taken on a Canon EOS 4000D camera with APS-C sensors taking 16-megapixel images. Images for archiving purposes are taken using high quality settings in TIFF format. The barn is likely to have been a small sheep house with hayloft above. Externally the building has largely remained unchanged. Internally the floor has been altered and the first floor reduced in size to a mezzanine. There is no indication of any divisions within the building. Such a survival is rare within the Peak District, though the lack of any specific evidence beyond the size and location of the building could cast some doubt on the interpretation. |
