There is a small basement byre at the downhill right end. The barn has large central opposing double doorways leading to the threshing floor, with the front doorway having a solid plain frame and flanked by short projecting midstrey walls. To the right, there is a small doorway for the byre, and the right end wall has blocked slit windows. The roof is hipped at both ends. Inside, the barn is open to the high roof and features six bays of tall, steeply pitched A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars.
