Thick walls of large blocks of red sandstone slightly raised in height (probably from the demolished tower), red sandstone slate roof. 2 storeys, 4 bays, extended by one bay under common roof. 2 filled ground floor entrances had deeply chamfered lintels. 3 plank doors in C19 openings, one partly in original opening. Upper floor C19 loft door has steps cut into the stonework of the wall below. End wall left was rebuilt in the late C19 to form passage between former adjoining wing linking to original tower. 3 levels of slit vents to rear wall, lower vents at ground level. Central part of roof and part of rear wall in collapsed condition at time of resurvey. A rare and early barn which forms part of a group of buildings of a similar date.
