Eye and Dunsden Bishopsland Farm Barn. The 9-bay timber-framed barn is part of a large, historic farmstead, formerly in the ownership of the Bishops of Sarum. The earliest 5-bays have the date of 1576 carved in the tie beam at Truss D1 on the plan. This truss consists of central queen struts and raking queen posts. There are two porches and threshing floors.
For more information on the farmstead see Report on Bishopsland, Farmstead and House.
