Barn and gin-gang. Probably C17 incorporating medieval fabric; C18 and C19
alterations. Thinly-rendered sandstone rubble with quoins and ashlar dressings;
roof of pantiles. One high storey, 5 bays and low front extension; gin-gang
to rear. Old wood lintels, supplemented by newer beams, over wide opposed
threshing doors with chamfered jambs; sill of door in front wall high above
present ground level. Both doors partly blocked and with smaller boarded doors
inserted under wood lintels. C19 front extension has half-hipped catslide
roof on rubble piers, blocked with C20 shuttering. Left return has door,
with sill above ground level, under old wood lintel; 3 tiered vent-slits in
gable peak, distributed with axis to rear of present gable centre. Right
return gable shows 5 holes for purlins of demolished adjacent building, under
vent slit in gable peak. Rear elevation shows 2 rows of vent slits to right
of door; 4 low octagonal piers, probably medieval, forming gin-gang with low
walls between some; sawn-off beam in barn wall suggests gin-gang formerly
