Visited 10/03/1997. Early to mid 19th century water-powered threshing barn with two shippons. Long, rectangular single storied building, gabled with corrugated iron roof. Poor condition of cob on gable ends. Threshing area is in centre, with shippons with lofts at either end. At rear to the left is a wheel pit for former water wheel that was used to power threshing machinery; may have been a later addition. Near to wheel pit is a stone wall of a demolished building with a blocked opening facing the pit.
