NY 39363 75837 Late 18th century clay-walled and cruck-framed agricultural building. Whilst the listing description for this building reads ‘roof originally thatched, now covered with corrugated iron’, none of the thatch remains. This is confirmed by text exerpts on Canmore (Stell, G. (1972c) Two cruck-framed buildings in Dumfriesshire’, Trans Dumfriesshire Galloway Natur Hist Antiq Soc, 3rd, vol. 49, 1971-2) and from Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register inspection notes, from when it was added to the Register in 1999 (BAR reference number 1771). The building currently has a corrugated iron roof covering, which is in poor condition, and a secondary temporary roof constructed over the building for protection.
