Detached four-bay open-fronted barn, built c.1810, with nine circular-profile corbelled piers supporting roof. M-profile corrugated-iron roof with flanking lean-to bays. Random coursed walls to sides and rear of barn. Three-bay two-storey outbuilding adjacent with pitched corrugated-iron roof, roughcast rendered walls, brick vents to upper floor and three carriage arches with limestone voussoirs to ground floor.
The unusual form of this open-fronted barn is of interest. The three piers to the front of the barn with strengthening corbelling, support the M-profile roof with flanking lean-to roofs. Located in the yard of Cangort Park and adjacent to the stables and walled gardens, this barn forms an interesting group of related structures.
