Shippon. Probably C17. Large blocks of roughly-shaped granite laid to rough
courses, almost ashlar in places; corrugated iron roof (formerly thatch).
Plan and description: shippon with hayloft over facing north-west and built across a
slope. At the right end of the front there is a doorway with hayloft loading hatch
over and to left 2 slit windows with a drain below between them. Roof is gable-
ended. The left (north-eastern) gable is much overgrown but appears to include a
series of slit windows including a vent to the hayloft. Rear wall includes a
central hayloft loading hatch.
Interior has plain carpentry detail and the roof is a C20 replacement.
This shippon, the barn (q.v) and North Creaber Farmhouse (q.v) form an attractive
group.
