Remains of a horse engine behind the threshing barn, in the centre of its east side (building E on plan). This has largely collapsed since the building was listed in the 1980s and the main beam from which the machinery was suspended appears to have been cut out. All that is left is the round rear wall and a small section of the roof where it abuts the barn. The collapse of this building is to be regretted but its restoration, given the amount of work required on other buildings at Litchaton, must be considered a low priority.
