Long rectangular rubble building, partly boulder-built and with projecting boulder plinth to E; renewed slate roof with rubble gable parapets. 5 plain entrances to S side, that to far R blocked and that second from L with ribbed, boarded door; expressed timber lintels to central three. Loading bay to the rear with exposed timber lintel and modern frame. Ventilation slit to E gable apex with a line of projecting stones beneath, probably relating to the securing of the thatch on the primary roof.
