Cadw's description
Location
To E of Newton House, forming N side of farmyard.
History
Bears datestone "1697", therefore given present form by Thomas Walker who updated the house at this time; but early C17 window openings suggest originally an accommodation block.

Reason for designation
A late C17 barn retaining its character with Group Value with Grade I listed Newton House.
