Scope and Content This early 19th century cottage, listed as being flanked by byre/barn at each gable end and having ‘piended thatched roofs to cottage and one barn; tarred felt to second’. The barn to the north has a felt roof, whilst the barn to the south is in a ruinous condition, though the owner is in the process of restoring the south barn and building a new roof. The main cottage remains thatched. The whole roof, including across the ridge, has been netted and weighted down using thin ropes and stones. The stone weights run around the entire circumference of the building just above the wallhead, openings and around the chimney stacks at either end. No photographs are available for this entry.
