The roof has 3 separate stages of construction. A small pegged steep-pitched truss truncated above a high collar stands unconnected in the roof. A smoke-blackened roof over it is supported by 4 collar trusses, the substantial ridge resting on a rough upright spur attached to the collar of a truss to the right of the later roof. A cob wall to the left end reaches to the ridge and divides to the roof-space, implying this was formerly the end wall. Broken mortice joints to former collars, probably removed to raise the ceiling, are visible. Outbuilding to right has been converted into a dwelling and is not included. The CIS deeds are in the possession of a former resident.
