Jowled arcade posts, arched braces to tiebeams and arcade plates, splayed scarfs with undersquinted butts in WSW arcade plate, face-halved and bladed scarfs in ENE arcade plate. Unjowled posts and primary straight bracing in aisle walls (rebuilt in C18 or later). Part of ENE aisle wall concreted. Clasped purlin roof (rebuilt in C17 or later), with some re-used smoke-blackened rafters from a medieval hall. Oblique trenches for passing braces (removed) in some arcade posts and aisle ties, terminating in mortices in the tiebeams. This barn has remained substantially in its original form, although some timbers have been replaced in the course of later repairs.
