Threshing barn. Probably late C18 in origin, extended in the early C19. Earlier part cob on local red sandstone dressings; addition local red sandstone rubble with raise of cob under the eaves. Corrugated-iron roof, gabled at ends. PLAN: Original barn of 6 bays (5 trusses) with a large threshing doorway on the south-west side and smaller rear opposed doorway. Barn extended to the south-east with another 5 trusses, and second large doorway on front. EXTERIOR: South-west side has 2 large doorways with timber lintels, paired doors with strap hinges. INTERIOR: Very tall, typical of the South Hams area. Trusses are pegged 'A'-frames with butt collars, the later trusses of more slender scantling. Hipped end of original roof preserved. A good example of a South Hams threshing barn and part of a good group of traditional farmbuildings.
