A cowbarn, of roughly coursed drystone construction incorporating larger boulders at the base of the walls and large stones as quoins and lintels. Now with a roof of profiled material but retaining stone copings. There is a doorway in the NE lateral wall and the opposing doorway has been enlarged under a raking half dormer roofline which breaks the eaves; pitching hole in NW gable.
