Barn. Probably C16. Rubble stone plinth c.1.9m high to timber- framed walls clad with weatherboarding, corrugated iron roof, formerly thatched. Seven bays, the centre three with base crucks, the flanking bays aisled. Large raking porch on north side with double planked doors, early C19 lean-to extensions either side with Welsh slate roofs, south side has blocked cart entry, stable doors and shuttered windows, left return has inserted opening with double planked doors. Unusual arrangement of bays whereby aisle posts are avoided in the centre bays by the use of two raised base cruck trusses arch-braced to main collar, clasped purlins are held by upper collars, curved windbracing to purlins and arcade plates. The three flanking bays each have two trusses with aisle posts supporting arcade plates and tie-beams, but raised crucks to sides, the same arrangement of clasped purlins and two tiers of curved windbracing is used throughout, together with curved bracing from aisle posts to tie beams. The east of two cruck trusses has wattle holes on soffits of collar and bracing; indicating a formerly closed truss.
