Timber-frame encased in stone, corrugated asbestos roof. 4

Varied stonework: on the N wall coursed squared gritstone of

with small vents, on W gable gritty sandstone and limestone
blocks below eaves level, rebuilt above with squared stonework
as N side; the E end infilled with re-used stone. Timber posts
and roof truss exposed on E end, a cut-off king post and
herring-bone braces missing; part of post and aisle plate on
SW corner.
INTERIOR: timbers throughout are blackened and charred; 5
timber-framed trusses survive, the end trusses now in end
gables. Principal posts rest directly on stone or earth
flooring, no stylobates; king-post trusses flank entrance bay,
braced to ridge; wall-plates have scarfed joints, the hole for
a har-hung barn door survives, timbers used to prop up the
framing include a length of wall-plate; secondary timbers laid
across and below the aisle purlins support prop.
A possibly pre-Dissolution barn of the Kirkstall Abbey grange,
it stood to the S of the timber-framed range of which a part
survives in the outbuilding attached to the farmhouse,
Roundhay Grange (qv). The N wall probably rebuilt to suit the
new stonework of the C18 farmhouse and barn.
