A medium-sized early C18 corn barn, with lofted cowhouse at one end, probably contemporary with the farmhouse at Great Bottom Farm.

Side wall (right) has two vent slits, next a blocked doorway and then a boarded window with timber lintel to lofted stable. E gable has square doorway to upper pitching loft in gable-head, and boarded entrance door to stable on ground-floor.
Interior
Stone-flagged threshing floor. 7-bay interior has collar and tie beam trusses with raking queen struts.
