farmbuilding group
GV II

Shelter sheds, probably c.1800; some alterations in mid-C19. Squared rubble
with tooled quoins and dressings, undressed cobbles to rear; Welsh slate roof.
Ranges around trapezoidal yard open to south. West range has boarded doors
and, to right, timber arcade of 6 irregular bays. North range has similar
5-bay arcade, and east range a similar 7-bay arcade, with three 6-pane fixed
windows to right. All posts are set on padstones. South gable end of east
range has vertical-panelled door in alternating-block surround; boarded door
to rear of north range. Attached to rear of west range is north range of
main farmbuilding group (q.v.).

Interior: the arcade posts carry the tie-beams of principal-rafter roof
trusses, which in turn support the lintels or arcade plate.

Interesting survival of a vernacular building type no longer common in the
area.
