To L of the doorway is a tall ventilation slit. The L gable end has 3 tiers of ventilation slits. The R gable end, built into the bank, has 2 ventilation slits and a boarded loft opening under a drip stone. The rear has double boarded doors to the wagon bay with 2 ventilation slits to L.

Reason for designation
Good example of an early barn characteristic of the region, and forming a strong visual group with the farmhouse and stable.
