Shippon and hayloft dating to 1600-1650, with later alterations. Built as outbuilding to an earlier farmhouse, probably demolished in 1650-1700. Constructed from semi-coursed granite rubble walls, bonded with clay. Was originally thatched, now slate roof. Rectangular building, now one storey (originally two), small slit windows (mostly blocked), originally had one door facing north-west. At the south-west end there appears to have been a large chimney stack, subsequently removed. Indicates this building may have served as a detached kitchen.

The barn dates to c.1600-1650 with repairs in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These repairs are evident from the use of lime mortar and later, cement. No significant archaeological layers, features or deposits were revealed during the watching brief.
