Barn. Probably early C17, later alterations. Partly cruck-framed, coursed, squared sandstone rubble, stone slate roof partly replaced in corrugated iron. Single-storey except downhill end bay which has a loft. 5 bays. Quoins. On farmyard side: full-height cart entrance to right of centre, jambs rebuilt in C20 brickwork, no doors. Cowhouse door to far right with a blocked doorway to its left. Walling to left of cart entrance of cruder rubble work. Left part of roof replaced in corrugated iron. Rear: cart entrance partly blocked with brickwork, other altered openings. Interior: to left of entrance a cruck truss set on padstones has massive blades, tie beam, curved wind-braces and collar set below ridge. To right a transverse partition wall with, beyond it, another similar cruck truss. The upper part of a third truss remains in the downhill end gable. Rear cart entrance framed by heavy wood posts and lintel. Upper end of building spanned by two king-post trusses. The building is a rare survival in a region dominated by post and truss timber-framing. Low range of buildings projecting from front left not of special interest.
