This example is characteristic of bank barns in the area, built with gables embedded into the hillside and with a small door in one elevation facing double doors in the opposite wall. This latter feature was shown to be a later modification in this case. A date stone incorporated into this structure dates it to the mid 18th century, which is rather early for bank barns of this type. This structure has been designed to look impressive, while also being efficient and the quality of construction suggests a wealthy landowner or tenant farmer. The tithe survey of the area in 1843 indicates the landowner was Servington Savery (then owner of the Fowelscombe estate in Ugborough parish). Possibly the property could have belonged to the estate before this time.
