Heath Farmhouse (q.v.). On the east side of the yard is a threshing barn facing
west. It has large opposing double doors to the threshing floor right (south) of

are C19. Its roof is hipped each end. An open-fronted linhay projects forward at
right angles from the left end of the barn. It is an unusual type of linhay being 2
bays to the ground floor cow byres and 3 bays to the tallet/hayloft. Between is a
