Summary | |||||
Description | Orientation and Shapes: Rectangular structure with longitudinal sides facing south and north and short ends facing east and west. Dimensions: South facing side 25.3 metres / 83 feet 1 inch and west facing side 8.9 metres / 28 feet 3 inches. Features: The south facing side has a large open entrance for livestock with a low breeze block wall. There is no evidence that this has raised the height of the building. No door was observed. The north side abuts a lean-to farm building that provides additional access. The north wall of the hut has been removed leaving 13 vertical batons. The wooden frame and roof truss of the main hut is visible. Nails were observed in the vertical frame supports. The walls are constructed with wooden frames covered by corrugated iron panels. Function and Phasing: The farmer believes the building was moved to the farm in the 1950s. It is now used as a byre to keep livestock. No original fixtures or fittings were observed inside. Roofing: There are sections of broken guttering in situ. Brackets for holding the guttering were also observed. The roof is pitched with evidence of replaced cladding. An old aerial photograph of the farm suggests the roof was originally covered in corrugated iron. The original wooden trusses are visible inside. Seven were counted.' | ||||
