The barn is now a thing of the past.  With the aid of a 4.5 tonne digger.  It made quick work of demolishing the stone work that was left and loading the rubble into a dumper.  The spoil heap is now getting pretty impressive.

The stone on the front of the barn will be re-used, however, much of the stone is only good for building dry stone walls.  Fortunately, we have a lot of these to do.
