A good quality mixed use barn dating probably from the second half of the C18.

Whitewashed rubble stone barn with a stone slate roof on the east slope and corrugated metal on the west slope.

Hay loft at north end with taking in door at gable and secondary door below. Steeply pitched roof. West front looks onto stock-yard and has been more altered.
