The roof is covered with plain tiles. The structure consists of three framed bays, with square panels extending from the sole-plate to the wall-plate, supported by long straight tension braces. There is a small boarded door on the south-west side, along with a doorway and scattered openings on the north-east side. Inside, the barn has cross-frames with short corner braces, straight tension braces, and tie-beam end trusses featuring queen struts. The roof structure includes single purlins with wind braces.
