ULNES WALTON RIDLEY LANE SD 41 NE 8/194 Barn c.75 metres east of - Littlewood Hall Farmhouse GV II
Barn. Probably late C16 or early C17, altered in C18. Plinth of 3 courses of sandstone blocks, brick walls replacing former timber-framed walls, slate roof. Five bays; tall wagon doors opposed in middle bay; north gable has exposed roof truss with kingpost and 3 raked struts each side. Interior: some wallposts visible beside the doorways, which have timber-framed panels above the lintels with straight bracing to the wallplate; others probably surviving but encased in brick piers; scarf-jointed wallplates; 4 collar trusses with angle struts, tie-beams with vacant mortices for former arch bracing; 2 pairs of trenched purlins, the lower windbraced from below. The surving visible structure matches that of the oxen house immediately to the west (q.v.), with which it is probably contemporary.
