NW elevation has sliding doors replacing the original great doors, and to each
side of it pitching doors above and below the girt. The midstrey has the
original halved doors for winnowing, which are never wide enough for vehicular
access, well above outside ground level. The lean-to byre has a blocked doorway
and 2 arched apertures for drains or dung passages. Pegged main frame. Primary
straight bracing. Bolted braces to tiebeams. Clasped purlin roof. This barn
is in exceptionally good structural condition, and retains an unusual number of
