loft which occupies about a third of the barn. The apples were fed through
the floor (probably originally through a hopper) to the apple crusher which

from the rear wall. The stone rollers are driven by a man-powered wooden
wheel on iron cog-ring. The higher right (north) end of the cider barn is
open to the roof land has an internal flight of stone steps from a doorway

originally contained the apple press. The lower south end has a loft but
its function is not known.
The building is now being used for making wine as there is now a vineyard
