mortar and renewed pointing.
Byre and steading with round angles heightened at wallhead by
concrete eaves course, with pronounced triangular corbels at

former thatch). Roof piended at west but gabled at east.
Diminutive wallhead stable window to rear; small triangular

corrugated iron roofs.

Statement of Interest

Snowburn House not included in listing. Close dating of

traditional vernacular buildings difficult. Unusually
