This truss was formerly closed: it has empty mortices for studs and wattle holes. The second cruck truss, to the west of the threshing floor, has a tie-beam, collar and out-riders. The tops of the blades are butted against the diagonally-set ridge. The truss to the east of the threshing floor has no tie-beam. The fourth truss is similar to the second except that it was formerly closed and has a king-strut above the tie-beam. The east gable wall also contains a cruck truss.
