Type and Period

Description

February 2013. Heritage assessment. This barn has been largely demolished, but was historically used as a meal shed. It was located to the West of the timber framed cattle shed (EHER 80874) and North of the timber framed barn (EHER 80876). The structure has a concrete floor. The presence of a collapsed drive shaft indicates a former machine shed. Where the plinth survives it is constructed of lightly frogged red bricks. The remains of peg tiles indicate the original roofing material. The cartographic evidence indicates that this barn may be part of a structure built between 1843 and 1874 and which extended further to the SW. It is due to be demolished. <1> January 2025. Aerial imagery. Google Earth imagery suggests the building was demolished sometime between the survey in 2013 and 2017. It does not appear on imagery from 2017.<2>
