To right at lower level, mistal doorway, leading to aisle, has punched-dressed quoined lintel.

Interior: first 2 bays of aisle have stone walls either side of rear cart entry and stone-flagged threshing floor with raised curb stones linking with front cart entry. Bays 3 and 4 are open and have posts on tall dressed padstones with wall ties and straight braces to arcade-plate and tie-beam.
