HOGHTON RILEY GREEN SWITCH ROAD SD 62 NW 2/150 Barn c.40 metres south of Causeway Farmhouse, with - attached pigsties GV II
Barn. Perhaps C16, altered. Cruck-framed. Present cladding of coursed sandstone rubble (probably replacing timber-framing), slate roof. Four bays on north-south axis; shippon added at south end of less interest; west side has wagon entrance to 3rd bay protected by porch with short cheeks and carried-down roof; various large attached outbuildings not included in the item. North gable weather-boarded, and below this an attached lean-to garage or cart shed of snecked sandstone, to the north of which is a long low range of 4 pigsties with monopitched roof of stone slates, random rubble walls with 4 doorways. The principal feature of interest is the interior cruck frame of the barn, composed of 4 full cruck trusses including one at the north gable: these have blades of large scantling, collars, yokes, 2 pairs of spurs, and dorsals carrying 2 pairs of trenched purlins with curved windbraces above and below; the gable end truss has in addition a kingpost (tie-beam not visible) and 2 angle struts near the apex. The ridge lies diagonally between the tops of the blades which touch but are joined only by the yokes. In the 2nd bay on the east side are remains of timber-framed walling, including wall posts, high rails (below which the wall is now stone) and straight arch-bracing.
