Standing Building Recording (27 September 2010 - 28 September 2010)

NS 8572 9718 A desk-based assessment and programme of building recording were undertaken 27–28 September 2010. The building, which is thought to date to the late 18th century, consisted of a two-storey barn constructed of rubble stone along a steep south-facing slope. It was in a poor state of repair with only a small section of the roof surviving and many of the walls showed signs of collapse. Several phases of alterations were recorded, including the insertion and blocking of windows and doors as well as a significant change in the roof design, from a wide single pitch to a double pitch with double gables at each end. The form and location of the building suggest that it was probably used as livestock shelter with a large upper wool storage area.
