Abstract: |
The barn is a timber-framed and weatherboarded structure with a slate roof which lies at the entrance to the valley approximately 100 m east of the house. It was built as a stable rather than a barn in the mid-19th century on the site of an earlier building, and rises to only 2.4 m at its eaves. The interior was originally divided into two compartments with a single entrance from an enclosed southern yard and contained a narrow feed store with an external loading hatch adjoining the farm track to the north. Features of this kind were known locally as chaff houses or chaff boxes and were often found in small stables of this kind which lacked hay lofts. The rear elevation reveals the outline of a high hay rack and manger, but these no longer survive. |
