Statement of Interest

A particularly fine cartshhed and granary, this structure remains virtually as it was when first built. Of particular interest is the survival of the chamfered, segmental-arched cart bays, the ventilated and 4-paned granary openings, the protective pal stones and forestair. The general symmetry, slate roof and raised skews only further the overall significance. The adjoining and surrounding farm buildings are not included in this listing. Although the 1st Statistical Account (1791-99) refers to "Wynnefield" farm, this cartshed and granary did not exist at that time.
