It has 2 pointed doorways, of which the R-hand is higher, both of which have replaced arches of rock-faced stone. Above the doorways are putlog holes and a line of 3 ventilation strips. The rear, where the ground level is a higher, has a central loft doorway.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding its present condtion, as a farm building of distinctive character, and for group value with the farmhouse.
