Threshing barn. Probably late C18 in origin, extended in the
early C19. Earlier part cob on local red sandstone dressings;
addition local red sandstone rubble with raise of cob under
the eaves. Corrugated-iron roof, gabled at ends.
PLAN: Original barn of 6 bays (5 trusses) with a large
threshing doorway on the south-west side and smaller rear
opposed doorway. Barn extended to the south-east with another
5 trusses, and second large doorway on front.
EXTERIOR: South-west side has 2 large doorways with timber
lintels, paired doors with strap hinges.
INTERIOR: Very tall, typical of the South Hams area. Trusses
are pegged 'A'-frames with butt collars, the later trusses of
more slender scantling. Hipped end of original roof preserved.
A good example of a South Hams threshing barn and part of a
good group of traditional farmbuildings.
