Roughly coursed red/grey sandstone rubble with Welsh slate roof. Central opposed doors with two long slit vents to the left and three in two tiers to the right for the hay tallet. Three tiers of vents in the left gable and four in the lower right gable. Gable verges.
Interior
A probably seven bay barn originally but given a nine bay roof in the late C19. Paved central threshing floor. Eight sawn king-post trusses with iron straps, three tiers of staggered purlins and ridge piece.
