Possible threshing barn on west side of farmyard. Ruined rectangular stone structure 10.2 metres by 5.6 metres with a large (drystone blocked) opening 2.2 metres wide in eastside. Ruins up to 2 metres high towards south, but very low elsewhere. Along west side the stone footings are largely covered by earth, but line of wall is marked by a low, stony mound. This appears to be broken through by an entranceway of about the same width (circa 2.1 metres) opposite the doorway in the front wall. No evidence for cross walls survived above ground level. The two opposing doorways suggest that it may once have been a threshing barn.
Like the cowhouse one of its corners had been cut back and rebuilt with a splay. This rebuild was in dry stone.
