II

Barn and animal shelters. Probably mid C19. Uncoursed stone rubble with hipped Welsh-slate roof. Corrugated-iron roof to shelter at rear.

Plan: First-floor barn with central opposed entrances, over ground-floor seven-bay open-fronted animal shelter. Facing east. One-storey five-bay open fronted animal shelter adjoining at right angles to rear (west). Right-hand end wall of bay with evidence of possible intended addition (see missing quoins to each corner on first floor).

Exterior: Two storeys. Central large boarded double doors to first-floor barn with dressed-stone segmental-arched head and projecting eaves above to form small porch. Seven ground-floor round-arched openings with dressed stone voussoirs. Most openings blocked by C20 concrete blockwork at time of survey (September 1987). Right-hand end has end doorway with wooden lintel and ground-floor boarded door to right, also with wooden lintel. Rear has wide barn doorway (no doors at time of survey) with dressed-stone segmental-arched head. Five-bay open fronted animal shelter adjoining at right angles to rear.

Interior: First-floor barn has six-bay roof with C19 king-post trusses and pairs of purlins.

This building is a good example of its type and has been little altered. It forms part of a large farmstead group of Flitton Barton (q.v.).
