I'd love to talk. The circular sawn post is a replacement. I only have seen this style of bent construction on the older barns here in Southern Maine. Early early 1800s. Gray/New Gloucester is where I've been doing my detective work. I write a series on old barns for a local paper there. Very much settled by the English.
I judt thought this style was from a lck of long timber in England, i.e. an "English carry-over."
