coursed rubble, rest hammer dressed stone. Slate roof. The southern
part contains the cruck trusses one foot being exposed at ground level
to right of recent stone porch on west side. Square-headed, part
blocked cart entry on east side. The later barn has elliptical-headed

The two cruck trusses meet at the apex and have collars. Tie-beams are
sawn off flush with blades but project outwards into the side walls.
Some timbers have been recently added. Purlins do not appear to be in
their original housings on the outer face of the cruck blades. Two
king-post trusses to former barn, with struts and projecting king post
taking the ridge.
