Shippon. Probably mid to late C19. Coursed stone rubble with gable-ended Welsh-
slate roof.

backs onto the lane to north.
Exterior: 2 boarded loft doors to north with wooden lintels and small ground-floor
access hatch to right with wooden lintel. Right-hand gable end has ground-floor C18
3-light wooden mullioned window to left and C18 2-light wooden mullioned window to
right, both with wooden lintels and internal wooden shutters with strap hinges. Left-
hand gable end has 2-light wooden window to left with internal wooden shutters and
inserted boarded door to right. Rear has 3 boarded stable-type doors with wooden
lintels and the C20 casement with wooden lintel, formerly doorway (see straight
joints below). 1-storey lean-to to left. Short section of C18 roughly squared and
coursed stone garden wall joining south-west corner of shippon with north-east corner
of West Molland Barton (q.v). with doorway in south end.
Interior of shippon not inspected.
This is a curious building of uncertain function but probably a shippon. It is
unusually wide and only has loft doors on the north side, probably so carts could be
loaded or unloaded from the lane.
