Full Description

{1} Building 3a, which does not appear on the 1886 and 1900 Ordnance Survey maps, is a free standing building to the south of Building 2. It faces down into a small yard created by a wall running out from the south west corner of Building 3b. There are no fixtures and fitting which relate to its use within the farm complex. It is built using coursed limestone rubble and has a pan tile roof. The main elevation is the south facing elevation which consists of three open arches with brick detailing. The east and west elevations are flat gable ended walls . A single door is set into the east corner of the north facing elevation.

The inside of Building 3a is a single room with a concrete floor. The roof structure consists of a bolted king post with raking struts supporting the principals on which sit the cleated purlins. The structure is consistent with a late 19th or early 20th century agricultural building which also fits with the map evidence.

The open-fronted nature of the building suggests it was originally used as a cart hovel.
