Inside, the barn features jowled posts and curved braces that are trenched inside heavy studs, all of which are jointed and pegged. The east wallplate has a halved and pegged scarf joint. There are 18th-century bolted knees below the tie-beams, and the roof has clasped purlins with curved wind bracing.
