II

Former farm outbuilding combining accommodation for animals and storage for foodstuffs. Mid to late C18 with minor C19 alteration. Coursed rubble sandstone, laid to diminishing courses at east end and with plain stone dressings beneath a stone slated roof four-bay plan with opposed double doors within second bay from east end and standings for cattle in two-bay outshut at west end.

North elevation with asymmetrical roof pitch of different depths, the east bay with a shallow integral outshut served by a quoined stable doorway beneath a shallow lintel. Plain planked door. Tall double doorway, formerly with harr-hung doors, now without doors, the opening weathered by the roof overhang. To the west, the two-bay byre outshut extends northwards by three metres beyond the line of the eastern bays and has a doorway in the eastern end wall.

South elevation has three massive raking stone buttresses to shore the side wall which has an uneven stepped wall face indicating a partial rebuild around the low double doorway with C20 boarded doors.

Interior: three collar and tie beam trusses support a double purlin roof with a diagonally-set ridge purlin notched into the principal rafter heads. The two western trusses sit on the arcade plate of the aisle, carried on three posts with a low rail between. From the middle post, a tie beam extends to the outshut wallplate. Above the tie beam, a principal rafter links the post to the tie beam outer end and supports double aisle purlins by means of diagonal braces, one of which is forked.
