Planked doors face NW under segmental voussoired heads at different heights. The L half has 3 doors and the R half has 1 door. A further door under a flat head has been added to the far R. Two openings to loft. The SE wall containing the bee-boles has been rendered and whitened, and contains no other openings. One iron tie plate is fixed to the wall.
