Description

The former Tithe Barn is a building constructed of random rubble with a renewed slate roof, featuring a later brick stack on the right side. On either side of the center, there are segmental-headed doorways, with the one on the right being higher and both having replaced doors. A central opening is now boarded up. There are boarded loft openings at both ends of the barn. On the right-hand end, there is a raked stone buttress. The right gable end includes an added lean-to with a boarded door at the front and a stone chimney located behind it on the right. The rear wall contains former breathers.

Inside, the barn is divided by a central thick wall and has some areas floored with stone setts. The roof features machine-sawn trusses.
