Barn is probably late 18th or early 19th century in date; the cartshed possibly 18th century. The covered gateway was probably added in the 19th century. The buildings are constructed of stone rubble. The gateway is slated; the rest covered in corrugated iron.

The bank barn has round-arched doorways with well-cut voussoirs: 8 below, 2 above in north arm of barn and 1 in east arm. There is a long flight of granite steps to left doorway of northern arm. Two wide doorways with old plank doors in the north wall, opposing the narrower doors on the south. The gateway has chamfered and stopped wood frame and a pitched roof. Lofted cartshed (which may have housed animals at north end) somewhat altered. Cart entrance has iron girder for lintel. Plain wood-mullioned window in west wall. Interior: shippon under east arm of barn has wooden feeding trough and hayrack. Root-house (under north-west corner of barn) has loading hatch with sloping sill.
