Description

A timber-framed barn on a rubble stone platform, with a slate roof partly missing. Simple box-framing is used for the walls, with brick nogging to the E wall facing the field and weatherboarding elsewhere, now partly missing. The E wall has double boarded doors under a wooden lintel. On the opposite W wall is a lower winnowing doorway. The S gable end is integral with the rubble stone cow house, which has a corrugated iron roof. On the W side, facing a former track, is a wide full-height opening. In the gable end is a loft opening under wooden lintel, while the E side has 2 lintelled manure-pitching holes.

The barn retains 2 pairs of cruck trusses, the distance between them being wider than the central threshing bay. The crucks have lap-jointed collars and beams suggesting former upper floors. The cow house has a simple crudely worked truss, and retains a partly cobbled floor. A former loft has been removed.
