Ruin to north of the possible threshing barn at Northwood farmstead first appears in its present form on 1888 Ordnance Survey map. This appears to be the remnant of the much larger building shown in this position on the 1841 Tithe Map. It is now very small (3.8 metres by 3.2 metres) and formed of different styles of masonry. The south, west and east walls are of dry stone or stone and earth, and have largely collapsed. They now stand to a height of up to 0.8 metres. The east wall has an entrance 1.5 metres wide, but it is not known whether or not this is original. The north wall is built of stone with white mortar bonding, and survives to circa 2 metres high. A stub of masonry protruding toward the north at the north-east corner has been pointed with the same white mortar. It seems that the building formerly extended further north, and was shortened when the present north wall was built. May have been a pigsty. Possibly replacing a stable and cart shed.
