The barn located approximately 70 meters west of Macaroni Downs Farmhouse is a Grade II listed structure dating from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century shelter shed. It is constructed of random rubble limestone and features stone slate roofs.

The central porch on the west side has a hipped roof, plank doors, and a timber lintel, with an attached outbuilding range to the left. Inside, the barn has a collar and tie-beam truss roof.
