Right-hand return; left-hand and right-hand entrance have chamfered surrounds. 3-light double chamfered mullioned window with slate hood and similar window in gable, with similar but 2-light window in apex. This stone was probably reused from Lawkland Hall (qv) as the lintels are made from former transoms of taller windows. Interior: Mid-C18 left hand bay has king-post truss; remaining bays have king post on collar; chamfered principals, trenched purlins. This barn is very similar to the barn c250 metres south west of Lawkland Hall (qv) both of which are part of the Lawkland Hall estate.
