A traditional seven bay linhay. It has local limestone pillars, square on the outside and rounded on the inside. The roof is now clad with corrugated iron but was originally thatched. Between this and the first floor barn is a small range of pigsties with curious feeding openings at a high level. The slate roof is almost mono pitched but has a short pitch returning on the yard side.
