Its open-front has a full-height timber post, supporting the roof and the tallet. Below the linhay is divided into two stalls. Keeping place. The wagon shed is separated from the linhay by a boarded truss with large double doors through, and a corrugated iron partition below, over a concrete block wall. It has a keeping place. The tallet is supported on two cross beams, one of which is mortised and tenoned into the timber upright. Currently a cow house; tractor shed.
