The barn on the west side of the farmyard at Standon Farm. Dated to 1870 by the stone in the west gable end. There is an arched opening to an upper level on the east side and a wide arched opening from the lower ground level on the west side. It was a 'cart linhay' in the mid 20th century with a 'hayloft' above. In 1995 the upper portion was converted to a 'Galley' kitchen measuring 5.6 metres by 4.55 metres. The lower area of 8.36 metres by 5.8 metres is accessed by a door at tha bottom of a flight of six steps. The eastern portion has been divided into two compartments by a modern blockwork wall. A small building of 1.6 metres by 1.4 metres attached to the north wall was historically an outside WC but now used as an electricity Switch Room.
The dated and inscribed stone is located close to the top of the external west gable of the barn. The initials 'E C' in the first line presumably indicate Edwin Collard. The date '1870' is on the second line and the smller initials 'R H' are on the third line.
