Kinvaid steading building and horsemill, Moneydie

Early 19th century, single storey and hayloft, long, rectangular-plan, agricultural steading with later 19th century circular horsemill attached to the north elevation. There is a late 19th century timber lean-to in the adjoining angle between the steading and the horsemill, which is excluded from the listing. The buildings form the north side of a courtyard steading (the other buildings are excluded from the listing). The building is on elevated ground and surrounded by farmland.

11 March 2020: Nominated by member of the public who shared a structural report and photos of the building. For Investigation.

6 April 2020: This assessment is based on images and notes provided to the BARR team by HES colleagues in the Casework and Listing teams, who visited the farm in 2019. A desk-based assessment finds this farm building vacant, disused and in overall Poor condition. Lack of rainwater goods in places suggests likely water ingress into the masonry. Interior photos show moss growth on the masonry suggesting issues with dampness. There are some slipped and damaged slates and some slate loss but roofs of steading and horsemill remain mostly intact. Most significant area of damage appears to be at SW corner of SE elevation. There are some visible vegetation growths throughout which may be causing damage to the masonry. Most window and door elements are missing and some rooflights appear damaged. There are some cracks in the masonry and isolated areas of mortar loss are visible, internally and externally. Interior timber elements intact. Move to At Risk.

*Note: Due to the current Covid-19 situation we are operating a reduced service. Our normal site inspection was substituted by a desk-based assessment in this instance. This site will be visited and re-assessed when our fieldwork activity resumes at a later date.

7 April 2020: A member of the public advises that the horsemill has suffered some structural damage and is in a deteriorating condition.
